Python Hunting In The Florida Everglades Is Not An Easy Job

[@PythonCowboy]

This python capture had me worried! kzbin.info/www/bejne/jYvKg6GOpNaVoZY

[@Tulip860]

What breed of dog is Otto?

[@broncogeorge]

A phone in one hand and an angry 15 foot python in the other, UNBELIEVABLE !!

[@cynthiakiy1406]

You are a hero. You are saving the Everglades. Well done. Love form Canada

[@johnkrischan622]

He's not just doing it out of the goodness of his heart, he's being paid for the snakes he brings into the Florida fish and game.

[@ARGONONYA-ye6wl]

Otto's got the best beard on the channel. Such a good dog. Thanks for bringing us along Trapper Mike.

[@PythonCowboy]

lol come on, I’m trying out here! Yes, he does though

Great job Mike and Otto! Saving Florida!

Dude you guys are doing so much good for the state of Florida

[@keochick1960]

Thanks Mike and Otto for a great video!! Enjoy all your videos and thanks for all you are doing to save Florida wildlife.

[@davidobrien3600]

Brother, Swamp People Serpent invasion is okay and Dusty is okay but if anyone deserves their own TV show it's you cuz you're the only one here full time fighting the fight that needs to be fought. Love watching you do your work

[@dionsherismith6901]

I believe Mike provided some assistance to Troy and the Swamp People crew initially

[@davidobrien3600]

@@dionsherismith6901 I thank you for that information. I would think so, I mean to watch those on Swamp People Serpent Invasion try to capture pythons and then to watch the Python Cowboy, his skills are so far ahead of anyone I have ever seen in his ability to capture these serpents. He will take on several snakes at once and and catch them with so much ease it really blows my mind.

It's in their nature to eat wild life

[@malcolmmarson]

The nature study, with you talking us around the area, was cool. All your viewers understand and appreciate you and Otto working as a team. Your worst day is better than a lot of people's best day. Doing what ya Love to do.

[@MarshGirlAdventures]

Miss seeing your python videos so glad you got another one out

[@comfortablynumb9342]

These videos are awesome. You and Otto are a badass team. I hope you're training more dogs for more python hunters. I remember when you hunted without a dog and the difference is awesome. You're obviously finding more snakes in holes and nests. There's no better news than digging up a mom and her clutch before they hatch, except maybe finding them before they mate. Could you drag a female smake in a bag during breeding season and use the scent trail to attract males? Maybe even a female in a cage? You might be able to chum up the boys.

With Otto's beard it's hard to tell you guys apart. Otto is a beast!!

you know you've been watching this channel waaay too long when Mike tells a story about past events and you remember it like you were there with him!! 😅

That intro got me good. Otto, he knows.

Otto is a beast on whatever he's gonna Hunt .

[@kevinbuckler1085]

Well if you and Otto can’t find them then perhaps that’s a good sign 🤞🐍

[@kathybrandt6060]

Thank you for showing us the reality of your job. It’s not all giant snakes and beautiful rides into the sunset. It’s being Waste deep in cold, dark water and reaching your hand into a hole where there is a very angry mama snake.

[@beverlyhanlon8376]

Good boy Otto. Real hard job Mike. Please be safe always. Try not to fall in the water. Might not be safe. Bless you for all you do.

[@davidobrien3600]

Always love seeing Otto back on the job

[@lancepoteet2172]

Man I love watching ole son do his thing. You’re right, hard to get mad when he’s a Swiss Army knife and knows it.

[@Whitewolf-x9y]

One big Bertha, good job bud!🎉

[@Whitewolf-x9y]

I did have a question, not current on all the rules and laws for you folks who hunt these in FL; in this situation or any really, can u euthanize quickly to alleviate a struggle , bit and now bleeding to death potentially or wrap around your body right then and there. How does that work, you take snake home, euthanize, then bring it over to a DNR station for them to process your hunt so you get money? I’m fascinated in how you folks do this, because this is such tedious, hard work, one snake at a time. I really admire you and everyone else who is trying to rid them of your eco system. Also, are there any numbers from DNR that they could forecast to show the years of eradicating are making a dent? How many of these things do they think are in the Everglades…is it even possible to try and understand. Sorry for all the questions, but have been watching these shows on TV and your Channel on removing these snakes and would love to know more. You definitely need your own show in History channel…. I would watch yours and drop the Gator hunting one.

[@Dennis_is_a_Menace]

I work with bloodhounds and bassets. I think with that small brush, basset hounds as second best scent hound could do well python hunting. Similar to small game, just would certainly need to keep an eye on any dog out there like you do with ole Otto boy

[@bart3877]

i love your content you produce on the python problem. I love your dog too, i just adopted a wire haired terrier from the hillsboro county animal services. looks so much like your dog. Is he a german short haired pointer? i wish i could attach a pic of my dog who just turned 1 year old.

[@jobber1984]

Amazing work!

[@HataKreataz]

At least I'm not the only one to fall in the water, too bad for me it cuz I look 9+ months pregnant these days. lol. Great collaboration with DMFD, just wanted that segment. Great stuff Mr Cowboy!

[@tyjones5019]

Man this is a great channel! In case I missed it, what breed of dog is Otto, or what mix is he? He's way cool!

[@timothysherman8927]

Good to see you !

[@genellbrooke]

I don't know how you do it! Great video!

[@treycrowley1770]

I'm wondering if Mike keeps charts and notes on areas to maybe someday pass it on down to a child or at least next generation because people like Python Cowboy will forget more then other people will learn about these areas and hunts

[@steveelliott7693]

Great job Mike and your fur son!

[@dogguy57]

the burrows the pythons use for their eggs use, what digs these wholes?

[@skydiver6711]

This is my favorite KZbin channel and there is not another dog in the world like Otto. I do have one question though. What do you do with the python eggs that you find. Do you turn them over to a research lab or something like that or do you make something out of them? Just curious.

[@the2060ish]

Great info. Good luck next time..🐢🐕🐍

[@DeweyTwo-ey]

Any thoughts of doing a livestream hunting episode?

We have an airboat club in central west FL. Does Orange Lake & Hernando lake have any pythons?

[@NRG450]

Do the pythons show up with a thermal camera? Might be another tool in catching them

Otto p'n on dead turtles 😂😂😂 Hey just wondering, when you blurp out cuss words, could you blurp the GD... ?? Not telling you how to run your fantastic KZbin channel and i enjoy the heck outta you gettin swamp cleaned up

[@savinggrace1110]

Do the pythons come back to the same area to lay eggs to where you can track and go back to the same area the following year or I’m not sure frequency if lay years or what. We were down in Florida this week that you filmed. Some nasty weather we had in northern Florida

[@savinggrace1110]

Okay you just answered my question from above as far as nesting and tracking 😂

[@cecilewagner9735]

Great job!!! Wow

[@Eltanin24]

so maybe they aren't the same snakes returning and its just that good nesting spots are good nesting spots. Happy Hunting.

[@jaykb6587]

And to think...back when I had my pet shops, people actually loved seeing my 13' python. She was a real attraction. She was, however, kept safely contained. And this was in Washington State near Seattle. Now ..my personal opinion: snakes are wild creatures. They should be left as such. There are enough cute puppies and kittens that need homes. Leave the reptiles where they belong. In their native habitats. 😮

[@jocelynanonymousvlogs5418]

Hey Mike, I was just thinking and that's why I'm asking 😂 wouldn't it be prudent for precious, Otto, to wear bootees, leather ones to protect his pads and hey maybe some leathers for his legs and stomach 🤔😊 just saying because I ALWAYS wonder if he's going to hurt himself....keep doing what you're doing eventually you'll make a dent and get more like-minded people on your side....I come from South Africa 👍

[@sjldfilms5126]

How old is Otto? He's such a good boy!

[@rmlestes]

thanks

[@davidobrien3600]

I think the state should pay Mike to go to high schools and have a one day a week class at the least to be the expert who teaches young adults a career in reading these serpents cuz there is so many of them they will never all be eradicated without the incredible skills that Mike has that should be passed on to new generations. And to mike, when I see others trying to do what you do they are so terrified yeah you walk in and as the other, it says a phone in one hand and a python in the other and your skills are just mind-blowing with the ease you capture these things, fearlessly. You really, really deserve to be on national TV because the Everglades are so important that we can't allow these invasive serpents to kill our Everglades and it's so important that python catching shows like surfing Invasion or Guardians of The Glades are on TV but both shows will show Mike and he is so far away better that him not having his show is an injustice to eradicating these demon snakes. I seen Mike only on other shows and only recently did it cross my mind to see if he was on KZbin and he sure as hell is and with good reason so now I can watch every video he has but that does not take away from the fact that if anyone should have their own TV show about anything, it's Mike Kimmel the python cowboy showing his expert skills on at least a weekly basis. Save Our State and save our Everglades
