Show #39 Rattlesnake Hunting

[@ROFO79]

Remember a teenager in the early 90s watching Archie Phillips

[@ILoveOldTWC]

This is exactly why the numbers of eastern diamondback rattlesnakes have been reduced substantially. They are just asking to get bitten too.

[@patrickmollohan3082]

You'll know when one of them hicks are gonna get bitten: when you heat "Hey, somebody, hold my beer and watch this"!!!...run like hell!!

[@rolltide9547]

Was outlawed 15 years ago.

[@kurtdavis7588]

Yeah it's getting hard to find them now. I only got two last year. Used could get dozen and half a year

[@gerald4133]

I miss hearing south accents my grandpa in ky. spoke with that type accedent. Miss him. I bought a 6'3" diamond back in geogia. He told me it weighed 25 lbs.

Glad you enjoyed the show!

That's my Uncle JP, my Pawpaw's uncle. What year was that?

[@outdoorswitharchiephillips9807]

I believe this was the early eighties

[@williepeoples5315]

Love you good ol boys. Great job

[@hilldwler420]

Grew up watching this on tv brings back memories. Along with Keith’s Hardware in Fairfield Alabama. Where my first Zebco rad and reel came from

[@michaelmiles610]

Great Video!

[@xifangyangren9997]

I love that Southern accent. Reminds me of my youth.

[@brucenicholson1736]

loved these tapes back in the day. would really like to see Dr. Bob Sheppard and Jerry Simmons episodes on deer hunting.

[@TjBishop001]

This is good stuff

[@TheBountyhunter1959]

Wow you're a lot braver than i am ..!

[@jonathanwallace2517]

It took me 5 years to find a 5 footer.. This is why

[@steveashworth6707]

That's pretty neat!

[@johntuttle4486]

How about leaving the snakes alone?

[@n4sir8859]

Love old clips like this! Thanks for sharing. What year was this?

[@FireTrooper-no7sq]

I’m pretty sure Jimmy was an Alabama Game Warden, my cousin was good friends with him.

Rough on that turkel.but I like em radderlers

[@Luch3331]

What year did this take place? Mid 80’s?

[@randyvinson7928]

I would bet

[@rolltide9547]

1985ish

[@caryboyd2181]

This must be a really old video. Eastern Diamondbacks are protected and endangered I believe. Do you ever see Indigo snakes?

[@willrowell3218]

Occasionally, Found one a year or so ago scouting for a spot to hunt Quail

[@chosenpeople5881]

Feral snakes hunting feral snakes

[@ronnieharrison2143]

Will snakes and Gophers be able to use this hole after this liquid is put in the hole?

[@patrickmollohan3082]

NO!!! None of these animals who use these holes for shelter WILL NEVER return to a hole once it's been gassed for snake hunting.

[@rolltide9547]

@@patrickmollohan3082 after it clears up they will

[@patrickmollohan3082]

@@rolltide9547 That may be. But its gonna take decades to clear out..if they ever do. If the snakes used the holes to hibernate in for many generations, that same colony will not use it again. They've already had to try to find suitable homes in areas they arent familiar with. They use scent trails to find their ways back to dens and what not. You take an adult rattlesnake out of its home range, they usually wont survive too long.

[@parkercarney7104]

Smh I'm glad they made gassing burrows illegal

[@joeeckley5272]

Amazing how turds of a feather flock together that way!

[@istinklikebutt45]

Joe Eckley yeah apparently you're a turd.

[@davidwilliams2279]

I don't gaf....I do whatever I want to do on my land.

[@caryboyd2181]

We have lots of rattlesnakes in Arizona. 17 species as a matter of fact. We don't ever kill our rattlesnakes. I get my skins from fresh road kill. I used to have many types of rattlesnakes as pets. Real men catch ratttlesnakes with butterfly nets. : )

[@lightsout7034]

Can they bite Thur a rubber boots I always heard they couldn't

[@nickmcafee3218]

Absolutely

[@knowoneatall4757]

An EDB can if it really wants to.

[@mikeclark4416]

Where they Duke Boys ?

[@JK-br1mu]

"Goodness gracias, alahhve!"

[@SithSereyPheap1]

Learn me how it's done JP !!

[@jonathanwallace2517]

This is why they barely have diamondbacks in alabama and they are limited in Mississippi. That shots illegal now gopher tortoises are protected and you can be fined up to $100,000.00 now for messing with them or their habitat

[@istinklikebutt45]

Jonathan Wallace don't know where you are but there's plenty in my part of Alabama.And you think it's because of a very limited number of snake hunters from back in the day and not the loss of habitat from developing and logging,huh?

[@TheBountyhunter1959]

@@istinklikebutt45 loss of habitat is the biggest culprit indeed!

[@knowoneatall4757]

@@istinklikebutt45 yea I believe habitat loss, collective fear, and hunters. I live in ms. and when I go to the country where I look for edb's every dude at the store has killed, at the very least, 5 each, if not 10 -30 Not counting all the ones that get ran over. So accumulate that number × everyone who hunts and lives where these snakes habitate. Now, take the loss of habitat, including construction and farming and remove people... which would you guess would consume the bigger number? The one guy said I got 9 a couple days ago, and they got 11 in this trip. How many times can you do that before highly reducing numbers? Ask buffalo and alligators about it... C'mon man, think about what your saying

[@timsmith8426]

ASSHOLE got 9 in one day. Hope him and I never cross paths cause I got a 9 for him From the SNAKES

[@lostinthewoods7369]

This is painful to watch....

Been there done it messed it can't do it no more

why even hunt from them. get a job

I know your country boys in Texas I’m from Virginia and I’m a country boy I am but work on your language a little bit prices would you want to say

[@packingten]

This is SO WRONG!,I am NOT a tree hugger killing and disturbing snakes in the wild is WRONG!.God put em here for a reason.

[@sharonlane1988]

Yes you are

[@sharonlane1988]

Yes they have a reason to be here target practice

[@blueridgeocean]

So i guess you forgot to read the holy bible and what it says about the serpent, that the humans will squash its head? Ring any bells?

Pretty sure I spotted you floating in Walmart's handicapped commode.

[@patrickmollohan3082]

@MGTOW I'm sure someone with your mentality would welcome being overrun by rats, mice, and other rodents. Kinda like a big ol family gathering for ya!

[@gailcarter1954]

Yawl are nuts

[@michellethompson3789]

I wish u would leave these animals alone they r not bothering nobody it’s their natural habitat eventually wildlife will have to repopulate them an who will have to pay for it I did not like this video I hope u all get fined for this cause hunting is for eating not cruelty!!!

[@knowoneatall4757]

Michelle this is from the 80's before there were laws in place from doing this. Those are gopher tortoise holes which are endemic to the southeast. You can be fined up to a hundred grand and 5 years upstate for harassing one now, cus the gopher tortoise is endangered. Without them, snakes and other reptiles wouldn't have anywhere to hibernate which could cause an even worse species decline. You never see em like this anymore because of things like this, habitat loss, and people intentionally killing them without cause. It sucks when your an advocate for all wildlife

[@blueridgeocean]

There aint now law against rattlesnake hunting in my area, do it all the time plus i hunt for the fun in it.

[@WillPrimo]

@@blueridgeocean no shit, but its illegal to gas gopher tortoise holes for snakes! Moron

[@salvadorrodriguez2520]

Them there’s what you call some good ole boys......they hunt animals and at night they dress up in white with some nice looking hoods and go hunting for some black or brown skinned folk.

[@salvadorrodriguez2520]

@UCd_rvdn-9dq43tbkMz_8Rww I find it interesting how most light skinned folks are afraid of brown and black unity.....maybe they’re a bit afraid that once two minorities unite the. I longer feel so empowered.
