I’m with Indiana Jones about snakes....
That is the stuff of nightmares for me. ugh
Too late. They elites are already on their way to Montana so some tale of rattle snakes ain’t gonna stop them. They’ll just have them killed. The snakes that is.
We have a place here the locals call Rattlesnake Ridge. Lots of nooks and crannies on the rocky cliff that are supposed to be loaded with rattlers.
So, who gets to fetch the drone if the operator crashes it right there? :-)
When they tore down the old NCO club at the Air Force Academy in Colorado Springs, there was a rattlesnake nest that they estimated had several hundred thousands of them. They threw in a lot of dynamite sticks to destroy the majority of them.
Wow, that’s a lot of democrat congressmen in one place.
Just got done freeing a black snake that got tangled up in the bird netting that keeps the blueberries on the blueberry bush for me and not the birds.
It was very docile. Probably tired from trying the get loose. Took a while to cut it free. It wrapped itself around my wrist as I worked. Now go eat those field mice good buddy.
Mineral Point Wisconsin decided to do some work to the county fair grounds 25 years ago or so. It was early spring and still pretty cold. They found a den with 500+ in it, they where all relocated. Interesting thing is that no one in the community had seen a eastern timber rattler in years. Makes one wonder if the years of aggressively killing them took out the predominate rattlers (aggressive rattling) and the passive ones, that were less likely to rattle took over the gene pool.
CAT!!!
You don’t need to be afraid of venomous, poisonous, wildly aggressive animals and insects. All you need to do is the following..
Don’t go near it
Don’t look at it. Avert your gaze.
Don’t play dead. Don’t run away. Don’t do anything but do something.
Stay out of its home.. the wilderness.
Stay indoors unless it’s a spider, scorpion or snake then go outside.
If it’s a scorpion or poisonous spider abandon your home. Never step on it out attempt to kill these peaceful creatures.
Wear protective gear at all times
Carry anti venom catered to the local venomous animal population at all times
Don’t walk alone. Train yourself in dusty aid and bring a friend who is also trained.
Dial 91 on your phone to make the final number easier to call when you come across one of these magnificent animals.
And remember above all else...
..... they are more afraid of you than you are of them.
Horsesh!t. Carry a gun. Use it. If any of these animals had opposing thumbs and a metal lathe they would kill your ass without hesitation. And probably just leave you to be picked apart by buzzards.
Kill them. Kill them all. Every. Single. One. With fire!

I don’t know if you’re on the outdoor ping list, so... 🐍
Hard to tell the difference from C-SPAN.
Unlike Democrat snakes —
“The interesting thing with this video is that even though there were dozens of snakes in this hole, we did not see even one rattlesnake bite the camera. It all goes back to the fact that most species of rattlesnakes are probably more fearful of humans than we are of them. Most snakes simply want to be left alone so they can spend time basking in the sun or hunting down their favorite meals in amphibians, and small mammals..”
Nightmares to some... A big bowl of snake meat chili for others...
