This Giant Python Was Not Going Out Without A Fight

This Giant Python Was Not Going Out Without A Fight. Tonight, we're revisiting islands where we've previously caught snakes and found sheds. With the help of my python dog Otto, we're hoping to track down these invasive giant pythons. The first night was out of control with Otto chasing something into the swamp but despite the challenges our hard work paid off. We finally strike gold with a massive python. This powerful python was not going out without a fight and he wrapped me up good.

I love seeing the good YT can do. You have an entire team now, a family, educational shows, all from a visit from YP and some hard work. So much trash on YT designed to addict children. This makes me happy…

[@nickh5195]

Real ones remember watching his Instagram stories all pile in whenever he got back to cell service!

[@mickeylegalhawk6510]

Thanks for the anatomy lesson

[@Stephanie-vn6ir]

Far from the family show when someone uses the word shit.💩😂

[@matthewb8229]

Otto is total stud. You are too, Mike, don't worry. 😄

[@v.dargain1678]

LOL . Otto

[@doubledee8677]

Great as ever. Something I've never mentioned but always appreciated is the music too, it just works.

[@PythonCowboy]

Thanks, my KZbin guy will appreciate that

[@copenhagencroc4649]

@@PythonCowboy Told ya Mike, on the trip =) This music does work

[@taylorsmith4758]

Agree, cable programming quality all around. Nice job!

[@joshimitsu96]

Agree 100%

[@mikeblair2594]

@doubledee8677 - oh, I know right. Always the right banjo lick at just the right spot. Love me some bluegrass. Check out a band called the Maddox brothers and Rose. My dad grew up with them and they and my dad moved up hear to Oregon and they bought a ranch right next to the house my dad bought. But man their music is sweet!!!!!!!

[@spooge33]

I'm still surprised that the pride balloon didn't put up a fight.

[@ianmorrison554]

It'll be hating on you for sure! 😅

[@averageamericangirl6819]

I’m glad you got someone else out there with you.

[@v.dargain1678]

He doesn't go python hunting alone anymore . Yay .

[@garycolman4993]

Otto is definitely 1 of them dogs you’re gonna have to risk your life to save 1 day!! He’s a grafter and is an asset to this channel!! TEAM OTTO!! 💪🏻🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿👌🏼

[@airaksinenaapo]

Turns out the invasive balloon was the absolute worst kind!

[@Creeds1996]

Appreciate the work you do Cowboy!

[@larrystephens7437]

Keep up old man... Sometimes Otts gota do what Otts do... Getem Ott... Love that dog...

[@rblood8076]

The old French tickler cracked me up.thanks cowboy and your dog.

[@LeonardoBacalzo]

Amazing community fighting against the invasive species. Thank you for your hard work!

[@billwilliams9527]

Man you are something, a python catcher legend. Utmost respect.

[@comfortablynumb9342]

I remember before you showed us the dogs hunting pythons, I asked you about using them. I'm stoked to see how well it works. You and Otto are definitely helping my home state and I appreciate it.

[@rockysuperstar1]

COWBOY You Rock :-))

[@Flies2FLL]

I wonder what the actual number of feral pythons is in Florida. I've heard close to 100,000, but that sounds way excessive. In any case, two pythons are two too many! Great video!

[@killeralltires]

That number may not be high enough. There are a lot of places for a snake like these to hide down there. There's 1.5 million acres in the glades. They have huge food resources and few predators. And have been breeding in the glades for decades.

[@Lazaruslove]

I love the way Otto tells the snake his sentiment about being there and whatever else his input is (all the dog language I don’t understand completely). Good doggie!!

[@MaidensWorldOfWax]

That was a nice find Mike. I love these episodes.

[@PythonCowboy]

Thanks!

[@davidobrien3600]

The legend of Otto

[@lindamccoy9]

Another great video with my favorite dog Otto!!! Keep up the great work you're the best!!

[@edemontfort9482]

I so appreciate these people that hunt these horrible snakes. Yes I know there are python lovers out there but these snakes are decimating the wildlife in the Everglades. I appreciate these hunters who are trying to reduce their population at great personal risk.

[@bryancook4744]

Python, keep a septic pencil with you for these thorn cuts. It will stop the bleeding immediately. Used them my whole life on my Dogs!

[@Eltanin24]

styptic pencil, a septic pencil would not be good ...at all.

[@floridacracker_]

That's a big boy! Thought for sure it was a female also. Great job Otto and Mike 👏

[@brianjohnson8918]

Mike does the dance with the invasive balloon! 🤣 Coming soon, leather balloon products!

[@calgreg2569]

Amazing..Otto found him..good job! Dam those things are nasty..

[@johnphillips5097]

Trapper Mike & Otto motion pictures present. Watch out if your a python 🐍💯🤙🏼

[@PythonCowboy]

Yes sir!

[@martinedwards4522]

otto needs some custom light weight body armor 👍🏻🐕

[@marischwab6771]

Those collars need to have a built in cameras to.

[@gladeshunter8796]

Seent ya in I-Town getting gas a few months back . Keep up the hard work man .

[@chrissterling7228]

To come hunt with you would be an honor! Trouble is I'm here and you're there. But kudos for you and all the teams that hunt for the snakes!

[@juliethomas6592]

Just a lil information... To help your dogs ears from bleeding and it can make them shrivel up and get hard if in just the perfect spot. But take a dry tea bag lay on the bleeding spot apply firm pressure for a couple of minutes and it not only stops the bleeding but is also a natural antiseptic. Hope this helps Otto love him!!! ❤❤❤

[@timholcomb9926]

Bubba if I was you I'd build me something where I could put a belt on with that can of carburetor cleaner on either side that will make the baddest of the back turn loose one to spread including pythons trust me I know

[@MrKconnell1]

gud fite

[@tigersbaseball1989]

The old French ticklers 😂 as always another awesome video man! Keep up the grind!

[@johnmulkerin4549]

Appreciate you and your team making a difference brother! If it hasn't been much of a discussion, perhaps some dog protective gear for your 4 legged hero Otto? Full body, vests, solid options to protect that boy!! Keep on keep'n on Mike & Otto!

[@jolfer1334]

I always find it amazing to see people not afraid to do stuff like this. It would take a lot of money to get me to just walk through places like that. Not even hunting lol

[@edwardsnelling9536]

Great job. Thanks for your hard work.

[@copenhagencroc4649]

More Hound of Chaos than Beard of Doom that first night hahaha. Ot is having too much fun out there. Thanks for the video!

[@beverlyhanlon8376]

I was afraid that python had you. You are tough, thank God. Otto, best dog ever. Stay safe Mike. .

[@redman8889]

Yep, TEAM OTTO!!!! son...come across any skunkapes out there???

[@thornehauser9511]

I know it's gonna be a good day when I see that you have posted a new video and today was no different. Great video man. Keep it up.

[@joydavis7462]

Really nice job Cowboy & Otto! Glad you’re both alright to fight another day.😊

[@brianquilty687]

Good Lord ! I could never do what you do ..... the bugs, the thorns, the heat .... I appreciate what you do.

[@Taydutt13]

Yeeyee

[@user-qt2ej2wk9t]

Mike, you are awesome and the work you do is appreciated by all of us in the country. Please take care of Otto and yourself when going out there and please know your videos are so interesting.💛❤️💛❤️

[@davidobrien3600]

You are as phenomenal in training all your dogs as you are when it comes to catching these pythons. Like picking up golf balls. Fearless

[@jasnonya3005]

Always gotta love watching y'all get them pythons, iguanas hogs and whatever else!oh yeah and putting them gators on the table for munchies and boots lol

[@codmn1824]

Oh my god Otto😂He is all over the place

[@ianmorrison554]

Couldn't believe that was a male! He was thick! I've had by hand crushed by a little boa so I was worried he'd seriously injure your hand! Great job team Mike/Otto!

[@brettleeds2006]

Good work bro, love it. Otto is the real deal

[@OfficialRealReacher]

I have a question about using a stun gun when in the situation where it gets dicey. Would that work at all?

[@annec781]

Bleedstop, it comes in packets, it’s a powder to put on a wound. Slip a packet in your pocket or pack for cuts like that.

[@coffeehunter8742]

Great video! Awesome big male! Great job! I enjoyed hearing the whippoorwill there near the snake!! Stay safe & keep on huntin'!

[@bustermv]

Would love to know how much that motto-roto weighed and how many feet long.

[@schojak1321]

Love your video's! Keep'em comming Cowboy!

[@madhatter2465]

Man! That was a huge one, Great Content! Can you show us how your buddy skins the snake, I would like to see it.

[@PythonCowboy]

I’ve tried but KZbin does not like that. Maybe I’ll post it on X ( Twitter)

[@calbo4051]

Lovin the drone shots Mike, really adds a lot to the video. FRENCH TICKLER!? I'll bet the younger PC crowd don't even know what that is. Classic shout out Mike.

[@TheAmazinKloudz]

Who would have thought that some of the tightest and strongest hugs can come from something without arms.

[@katherineallen9060]

You are amazing!!😀

[@beansngreens8006]

I find myself saying “Dang, that’s a big snake!” with every new video you post.

[@brandonodonnell5988]

Great content. Well made and done right.

[@alanjohnson6091]

Great work!

[@MarshGirlAdventures]

I love island hopping just hate those dang vines 😂 can't move very well though that shit

[@LastFreeStyleBender]

Otto is pretty auto 😆✌️ 5:45

[@judgetk8327]

That was a big male for sure. Big one like that gets a hold of the dog just right and it could be a bad day. I seen one that bit the dogs head and buddy just got to him in time. The dog couldn't call out. It was a 11 foot boa and he had the dog for keeps. We got there and saved the dog.

[@kevinbuckler1085]

Great work, love your channel, all the way from the Isle of Wight 💪 🐍

[@NBH215_]

Thank you for hunting these things I wish I could help but I'm from Philadelphia keep up the good work and great vids 💪💪👍

[@ARGONONYA-ye6wl]

Trapper Mike is the only man in history Chuck Norris is jealous of. Thanks for bringing us along.

[@user-rj9qn4qq6l]

If you could please start sending merchandise to Australia 🇦🇺 that would be great 👍 and great job today mate be safe

[@strengthaxlesystem]

nice drone shots! coyote hunting video?

[@Orthas1]

good one Ott

[@leighmonty13]

Otto the main man ,great work

[@VeritasEIREAequitas]

Attaboy ol Otto!!! 💪🏻

[@kimberlyarron2235]

You are a brave man. I watch your videos, and pray for Otto. I hate snakes. You couldn’t pay me enough to go “snake” hunting😮 Stay safe please.

[@genebryant3333]

Hi Mike, Just found your channel a week or so ago- much good content. After abit of poking around, i couldn't find an episode where you ggo through what gear you use. Air rifles for next to people, 22's when you're out in the boonies? See the rubber boots you wear, anything like the alaskan tennis shoes worn in the great white north? I can tell you have years of experience at your back, your choices would help ahyone looking to buy. just a thought, thanks again.

[@mickeylegalhawk6510]

You didn’t get a python but that proves you’re making a difference

[@tashashouse]

Do you use any bug repellent?

[@qxtankxp]

There's no point..... too many bugs

[@duster.]

Looks like you got a solid team there Mike. Well done. Please don't show us your french Ticklers, this is a family show, son.

[@Mu5icPr0ducer]

Does it seem like progress has been made or is the population still growing a lot ?

[@jamesnunnerley654]

Gday mate, love your videos,seriously love the work you're doing for the native ecosystem. Have you found you're catching less thanks to your efforts or still equivalent to when you started?

[@Nick-Lab]

The old french ticklers lol

[@Gillespie91]

I carry a small set of handheld sheers/snips or whatever they are called when u go turkey and deer hunting just for the damn saw briars and shit in the thickets. They help out big time and keep them from ripping my camo leaf suits

[@tawandasue]

Awesome dogs!

[@Eltanin24]

otto , needs his own country song

[@felicia7756]

Hello, just curious how you, otto and cameraman prepare for the job. What vaccines are required, who's helping with Gator watch, gotta be more then the 3 of ya right?

[@DEVILLXX74]

Squirming like an earthworm 😂😂😂😂😂

[@florence775]

There are three reasons I would never move to Florida. The humidity, the bugs and now the pythons and they’re making their way north.

[@donovancox2525]

You ever Try using a bug spray called “No No-See-Um”. They’re based out of Sanibel in SWFL. It’s all natural Lemongrass, Citronella, and Geranium oils and works great for me.

[@gman7329]

Not sure what the laws are there but would it be possible to get permits to have controlled burns during winter to thin out the scrub on the islands to make it easier to access?

[@dovydas4806]

I couldn't get through that underbrush in my best day. And my best days are long gone.

[@depe12345]

I'm curious....how long was the python? It looked quite big...!!

[@1baybrook1]

What kind of bugs spray do you use to keep the mosquitoes away

[@jcaff6963]

Exciting video, thanks for sharing.

[@bobbyhoward9672]

Man your a machine keep erm coming

[@richardthornhill4630]

Another one becomes a belt. HIs hunting days are over.

[@oso9809]

Curious if you ever have to kill be in the field because it got to hairy?

[@Abigail-ts3qg]

I feel bad for the snakes sad but I understand they have too do their job...it's an invasive snake...

[@kylanasher1372]

Out of curiosity does Otto ever get bit or attacked? Love the channel !!!!

[@Lord-Snowflake]

Keep some corn starch with ya,,, that shuts down the bleeding instantly

[@benwallace935]

Thanks for what you do cowboy

[@debbiestyer453]

Love tour videos. Thanks
