[@sandrabeck8788]

Truck camping!enjoyed seeing the turtle, I helped a big ol mama back to her pond across 4 lanes. Threw a towel,over her, she was very calm, never even hissed! Thanks for helping the native wildlife by removing these huge snakes! I subscribed immediately!

A real cowboy...Give this man a cold beer.

[@davidgibson2407]

As a floridian, thank you for your service. 😎

[@phillipbarnhouse496]

It’s good to know there is two less pythons in the Everglades . Thanks cowboy !!! Good video !!!

[@jackwilson2910]

From what I’ve heard about the Everglades you wouldn’t even notice if 100 snakes was captured in one day, so doubt 2 made a difference, heck you probably got more people releasing pet snakes that’s being caught in a years time lol

[@IronOrbs]

@@jackwilson2910 Ay I don't think he said anything bout a big difference, but it is a difference, 1 snake leads to 100 snakes 100 lead to 1000, 1000 lead to - well you get the picture

[@eriesniper]

Cool to see the Fox Squirrel. Proof that your work is paying off.

[@georgebrown6540]

What a great attitude towards the snake, no clean grab equated to leave it alone for its safety, shows what a good job you do in a humane way. Thanks for sharing

[@marcelsilveira1117]

That fox squirrel was a great sight to see. Thank you for helping rid the glades of these pythons.

[@v.dargain1678]

Same .

[@ChrisKlein0]

It’s a sign you’re doing a good job if you’re struggling to find the snakes mate !

[@jamesgarcia2905]

I hope u don’t encounter any skunk apes while you sleep out in the glades!

[@marcosperez9603]

@@jamesgarcia2905 what are those haha

[@Macasmum]

Great to see all the native animals coming back

[@lindacsmith13]

I was so happy to see the squirrel and find out they are recovering. Awesome job!

[@usarmytanker137]

Hello Cowboy, I’m a Floridian on Lake Okeechobee about 14 miles outside of Town Okeechobee on the Rim Canal! Cowboy I’d 6 gators and now 3 my gators was 4.5 ft. and the other 2 would’ve been 2 years old this October. I’d a bunch of Water Turkeys, Cranes and those Little white birds that’ve a long curved beak that’s curved and they go around sticking it in the ground. Things are disappearing here fast. They don’t allow us to drive the Canal around the lake but can walk it! I’m a disabled Iraq Veteran and I’d love to hunt them to make extra money myself but I hate snakes brother 😂 I’ve been here in Florida for 9 years this coming March, I’m from the Hills and Country of West Virginia, I lived there minus my US Army Career 38 years I just can’t do cold anymore. Love the videos and I’m getting concerned here on Lake Okeechobee and I’ve heard there as far to Orlando almost and there adapting to colder weather I’m hearing! It be fun trying it I guess, I think ounce I learned how I’d be okay maybe 😂

[@davidh7300]

Take your best friend get them drunk and make them secure the head of the big ones.

[@usarmytanker137]

Lol, I believe most would pass out

[@tsmith1439]

Great videos! Thank you to your genuine commitment to helping not only the everglades But the local communities you help out by teaching..

[@anonacrow8070]

Thank you for helping to make Florida's ecosystem breathe a bit better! 🐍

[@v.dargain1678]

Same . The snakes don't belong . Get them out .

[@JoshPerryBMX]

Loved the structure of this style video and I enjoy seeing you back at it with snakes and your business perspective around what you enjoy doing. Thanks for the video!

[@slayerbez2.078]

Have been waiting for this episode

[@franciscoalejo7376]

Totally agree 💯

[@bowfishingfalcon1162]

It's really cool to see the wildlife coming back Mike, you are doing a great job brother God Bless you and your Family Always, thanks for what you do brother 🤠👌🏼

[@billyr9840]

When you are having a hard time finding pythons that means you're efforts a are paying off. Good for the Everglades not so good for your livelihood. Kinda a double edge sword.

[@JA-gx4hb]

Or the snakes are getting better at hiding.

[@foleypam57]

Mike I love your channel, I'm a 66 year old native born in Pensacola, Florida, I watched the show when you caught that iguana in the attic, I had a mice problem and my trick to getting rid of them you take a rope sausage fry it and toss with boric acid they nibble on it and implodes the little baby mickeys perfect!! You deserve to when a new boat and truck!!!

[@davidobrien3600]

That is how it's done trapper mike. Such a total Pro

[@davidobrien3600]

Another cool video from 3 years ago that I'm getting to watch for the first time now

[@jayceecombs6887]

Great work PC! Just amazing work with the youth! J

[@brianquilty687]

Good job Mike. Nice to see you out again.

[@gaminghyaki6717]

Waited so long for python hunting❣👌good to see you back on business boss🏤😎

[@ladyblue6151]

me too,,,,been waiting for quite a while,,,after he caught that bigon , he was on the news and in the newspapers he kind of gave up on the pythons,,,,,which I am assuming most subscribed because of his passion for catching the big snakes,,,thats why I subbed,,,,I unsubbed because he was killing pregnant hogs,,,,,,now if he keeps up with the python hunt,,,I will subscribe again,,,lets wait and see,,,,,,,excellant job,,,python cowboy,,,keep up the good work ridding florida of those invasive monsters,,,and please stay safe,,,those bigons will kill you for sure,,,

[@SierraJenson4]

I love watching python catching videos!

[@julianescobar2395]

Great one. It was a long ride for you but totally worth it

[@patallen5095]

Gorgeous animals....but devastating to the local eco-system! Great job Trapper Mike! Cheers!

[@LoneWOLF-ku7mf]

at 14:10 when you picked up that snake I saw a very nice sheen on her back so 2 things on that is she has just shed & hasn't eaten for a few weeks. They are a little weak from not eating & save as much energy as they can to catch their next meal. I use to raise a few back in the day & I think I may still have one of the pics.

[@4evaKobe24]

Great video Mike! Keep it up!

[@markval3822]

You're awesome. Wishing you the best and lots of success.

[@charleschi843]

Dude: No gloves. Solo. Nighttime. Mad respect.

[@theodavis9778]

I’m a little curious. What mosquito repellent do you use?

[@mariahbonner5320]

Loved it!!! Took long enough! Lol Great vids my man

[@alan30189]

When you’re standing on the running board looking for pythons, did you ever run off the levee and into a ditch? I probably would. 🤪 6:25 Delicious, but those things will kill you. You need a drone with a thermal locator. I can’t stand f#€king a little bugs either. I think anybody that litters, should get a $1000 fine, minimum, and 30 days community service, picking up trash along our streets and rivers and in our parks. That include you cigarette but throwers. You had a “python tie” for a second there.

[@johnlabus7359]

You are the man! You need more followers!!!!!

[@bettywhite6672]

Found your channel yesterday and binging the shows ❤

[@LoneWOLF-ku7mf]

Just want you to know CowBoy that many people in my group really love & enjoy your videos. Keep up the wonderful work. & my 909 would have been nice on Mr Piggy.

[@walterstewart1927]

[@waterparks116]

Hi Mike I just found your channel and subscribed. I think at saw a python stretched out at the 8:03 mark, you might have missed it, it was down on the left...I love your channel I think it's very important work you are doing, my parents live in Sarasota. Thanks and keep up the good work.

Thanks bro 👊🏻👍🏻🇺🇸😎

[@luigivincenz3843]

important scene at 12:04 " i am not a trash man". PC picks up trash from idiots who treat the everglades like a salvage area. Thanks bro. Most would just leave it there. And the fox squirrel you showed proves you guys are doing a good job

[@BenM14-ZW11]

Another great python video Mike! Keep up the amazing work. Love the Otto Iguana stuff on IG as well!

[@bellaggio1770]

Awesome work dude, love watching your work.

[@TheChampGamesDM]

From a young age I've had a great interest in snakes with additional Ophidiophobia (a fear of snakes). I live in a country with almost no snake activity and I am glad about that. But my fear interests me a lot and I've been trying to get over it for years. Your videos are really helping me to get over it and they are great. Thanks for doing it! Keep on going Cowboy!

[@davidvelen9835]

Great job trapper Mike, thanks for all you do !

As simple as picking up a golf ball. You make it look so easy compared to the TV shows were there so terrifying it always takes two people

Dude the trash pissed me 8fff. Your my hero

If the pythons are getting hard to find, that's a really good thing.

I envy your job in a good way great video

[@mariesantiago2361]

Thank you for ridding the Everglades of these pythons and also picking up the trash that thoughtless people leave behind.

[@alisonhughes6476]

Swamp lizards 🤣🤣🤣 🐊

[@MsVan13]

Can you tell us what birds you see along the way in your videos. Florida has such diverse wildlife.

[@floridacracker_]

Good video man. I've been wondering tho, since those pythons eat pretty much everything if they'd eat one of them big soft shells or goffer turtles too. Sure they would would but..?

[@fred7705]

Hi very nice channel. I subbed. I would like to know whaat model is your lil cam with the chest harness

[@ashirapratt]

❤❤❤❤

[@arrow-jm6oc]

Bravo pour ton travail, mais tu devrais porter des gants pour ta protection, et le faire avec un pote à deux c est plus facile 💪👍

[@davidallanwellness]

06:23 can't go wrong with that lol.. of course not at that moment... but stronger than a python chock hold in the long run

[@ridgehilljillie9429]

You need a Prius! Remind me never to ask to borrow your camera, lol, yucko.

[@tedfederko2974]

Dropper Mike the python cowboy alias you're doing a fantastic job I'm glad you got two pythons in your collection sleeping in the Everglades you're all snuggled up like a bug in the rug in the back of your truck looks like fun can't wait to go to another adventure with youyou are missing so many pythons down there you should have somebody on the right and somebody on the left for spotters to find them pythons we probably lost about he probably lost about 10 if you lost that many but keep up the good work buddy you're doing a fantastic job eliminate those pythons from the Everglades then medicine creatures of the Everglades they are really Madison creatures for the ecosystem that kills all the other snakes kills rabbits squirrels and every other little creature that's down in the Everglades well at least you're doing your part to get rid of the evasive species in the Everglades python Mike you're doing a great job get them cowboy get them

[@danlarev6021]

Love your videos question how do you deal with chiggers and ticks

[@Rybernation]

Trapper Mike look at exactly 9:34 in the video. I think you almost stepped right on a python, I could be wrong but it really looks like he’s hiding under the water, lol

[@lewiswestcott4547]

What kind of gun are you using for iguanas? 30 cal pcp air? You should do a rig rundown for us! Love what your doing!

[@johnschorr596]

Do you get paid by state for catch and removal of the invasive pythons and iguanas? Or do you solely make your money off the skins or whatever parts of snakes? I have a friend in Texas who sais the state pays a certain amount per Ferrell hog removed. Awesome videos you are nutts, that big record breaker video was insane, were you by yourself?

[@bettywhite6672]

Never seen a soft shelled turtle. Funny nose 😂

[@josephfloyd8914]

I’d love to help out but don’t know where I’d get started but love your videos and all you do for the Everglades

[@johnlabus7359]

When was this footage shot? It hasn't been dry here in South Florida.

[@crystalbittner7213]

Probably was pet and then released as she got older. Just a thought since she was crazy nice.

[@donttellthefbiimhere9426]

Yeah, people release pet snakes quite often if they can’t care for ‘em or are too lazy sadly. Now, the poor snake has to suffer the consequences if that’s the case.

[@snoozin99]

It would be really cool if you used GPS and marked out every snake you caught on it. Would be a wealth of information I think on just tracking their movements over time etc. I don't know if you all are already doing that or not. I do love watching your videos and ty for taking the time to do them. :)

[@mariesantiago2361]

Veterinary students are doing that already. They catch female snakes and put radio transmitters in them. They are then able to follow them while they are breeding. Females can lay up to 100 eggs at a time and

[@mariesantiago2361]

That's an awful lot of baby pythons and if they break the eggs it will help decrease their population.

[@shanebunch4534]

What does the rattle snake and cotton mouth population look like, compared to a few years ago?

[@Tony-zt3zy]

Man I love it when you make these types of videos. Enjoyed it very much! Take care of yourself and thanks for being a trashman and a damn good one at it LOL. Shame on all those that would leave trash behind like that. You know you weren't raised that way? Or were you? Keep up the great videos. Tony

[@IMStrawman]

I see your Martin County hat, you live up this way?
