I had a couple of nice kestrels back in the day. I made an elevator sparrow trap and used them to bag my birds. Once they got good at catching them, I would head over to the nearby field that held a lot of sparrows. Every once in a while, they got lucky and caught one.😎
@@jonpitts1978 sure 🥴 make sure to video it when it happens. Don’t come back with the bs “I’m NoT GUnnA bE ViDEoInG” crap, they max out at 2mph. You’ve got time to video 🤣
I would never send a dog into that insulation to breathe in and get in its eyes as well as rusty nails to get caught up on. Get a small human in instead lmao
Alot of (ranch) dogs get bit by rattlers because they don't get noticed soon enough. Like how a person gets bitten. 1st person wakes it up, 2nd pisses it off and 3rd gets bitten, or it gets stepped on or too close to it. Situational awareness is key to living my boy.
@tobyabrahamson9660 terriers haven't developed an immunity to venom like a mongoose ................no matter how much it wants to win it's best to avoid conflict when possible to avoid death on either side. Common sense that could save you penalties for harming wildlife with permit or real reason, probably a leash law charge in there too for what? ..........
Everytime I go to an expo breeders always try to sell me a Moccasin. Don’t know why but I need the right enclosure first before I make the commitment and purchase. I do love Moccasins, Copperheads and Cantils
A snake, like any other animal, will only bother you if you are a threat to it. That is why most snake bites are from people harassing a snake in some way. Even just stepping on them won't necessarily prompt them to bite, it depends on the snake, because they "stepped" on a rattle snake with a fake foot and it didn't strike. I saw someone move a copperhead off the road and it got into a defensive position but never struck. They know they don't stand much chance against something far larger, and they just want to get away, which is why they act scary. People very often misunderstand animals and have it backwards because they don't learn about them.
Lol, snake didn't know what you were or didn't know you were there. There was a snake, a black racer, used to mess with me. I messed with it back one day, i grabbed it by its tippy point of its tail. It didn't even get into its defense mode, it just turned around and looked at me and slithered off. I haven't seen it in a while and i worry that some jagoff got it because i swear that snake would want me to know it was there when i was in that yard working.
Where r u? Which state? I'm thinking of flying a kestrel also & then after I've had some experience flying a falcon I want to fly a Barbary here in South Florida. I've flown red tails for many years.
@loquat4440 0 seconds ago @thatsnakeguy2074 I did make an earlier reply and for some reason that got lost. This will be much shorter. You I do not know, but many people that I know that chance upon water moccasins have observed on occasion just the opposite. I have never been chased. I know of the father of a neighbor that was bitten unprovoked while floating in an inner tube in a pond. None of us go looking for snakes, but since we live with them, our experiences maybe different yours. Also there are varied genetics with cotton mouths that might account for some of the differences of behavior. When dealing with them, I always take in account that they are physically capable of an attack and space myself accordingly. @loquat4440 0 seconds ago PS I did have one stand up almost on its tail in display and gape. But to be fair it saw one of my dogs first and the display may have been intended for the dog. I once saw a red tail rat snake assume a similar threat posture to an injured fox that was looking for an easy meal. With cotton mouth I was on the way to my mail box. From a safe distance I nearly decapitated it with a shot from 9x19 pistol. It was a small water moccasin that was starting to turn darker.

@@loquat4440 feel free to check out my many other videos of many more snakes doing the same exact thing. Literally hundreds upon hundreds of people work with these animals in the wild along the eastern US, and 0 of them have been chased. The sample size in reality is immense.
@@thatsnakeguy2074 i too have never had one attack. Worst for me is that some will sit and not move. But, I know of multiple people that tell me they have had just the opposite experience. The includes my vet that had one acting territorially in back of his clinic. One of his employees that was walking dogs in the back was having one act territorially. Someone else was floating in an inner tube and was bitten. Someone else leading a group on a tour had some of the group toss things at one in the water. The snake came out of the water and chased the group. And there are more. I do not know you, but I know the other people. Mine take is why get too close them. If they are not on my property off in the woods leave them alone. Give them distance. If they are on my place, they die. There are plenty of beneficial non-dangerous snakes about to balance the ecology. Cottonmouths are in no danger of being extinct in my area. They will bite if you if you by mistake step on one. It can cost $100k to treat a bite from one. If one decides to chase and then bites me, will you pay my hospital bill and be there to hold the hands of my relatives if I do not make it?

I went herding for the first time today but did not find any snakes. I was on a trail right next to a big local lake, flipping literally everything I could. Any tips for finding more snakes?
