How to Trap Snakes using Minnow Traps (Dos, don'ts, and tips) 

+z_RiSkY_SNiPEz PSN you're right, it doesn't. that wasn't my intention. the use of scientific names ensures that people who live in different areas or who speak different languages can both be sure they are talking about the same thing.

what was the big one at the end

texas ratsnake

Rat snake was one of the guesses I had in mind but was unsure. Lived in east texas for a little while when I was very young.

that last one was not a Texas rat snake

Very true

R.I.P that frog he taught us a valueble lesson

excuse me sir, but a snake is in no way beneficial to an ecosystem WHATSOEVER! you and everyone else needs to snap out of the fantasy world you live in, and do a little bit of research before you go making comments. the only good snake is a dead one... for every one killed is one less that can strike and hurt someone...

James Romero: We must both be old school hunters cuz that's what I was taught as well. I won't shoot a button buck unless I'm seriously in need of food either, and I'll never shoot any animal that's got babies or is pregnant unless it is diseased with rabies or distemper or something along those lines. I also look for the quickest means of taking the animal down with the least amount of pain. For small game that meant hitting it in the back of the neck and severing the spinal cord but you can't do that most of the time with large game like deer. Just to show how our hunting and trapping ethics are different from those of today, about 20 years ago I was driving to work and took a back road because of an accident on I-271 here in Ohio. When I turned a corner and started down a hill I saw a very disheartening sight. Someone had either set a large trap or had shpt this doe deer and blew it's lower front leg off and it was hobbling on 3 legs. The wound looked healed so it had to have been a good while before I saw it. This animal was in a rural area so it occurred to me that someone probably baited it in order to trap it (or some other animal but this one became the prey). Very sad.

Mr. Thundermaker that’s YOUR opinion! I love being a snake wrangler. Snakes are beautiful reptiles! They also keep the rodent populations down

Dossey Richards the USA doesn’t have poisonous snakes. We have venomous. There is a difference. Just friendly info.

Unfortunately a lot of people will probably leave snakes to die. I don't really like trapping in general and if you need to exterminate some animal then do so in a humane way.

D bros if I ever catch any rattlesnakes I always skin them they are such pretty skins and I don’t wanna step on one while I’m hunting

What venomous snake?? Lmao I sure hope you’re talking about the garters or hognose because then you’d be technically correct. But something tells me you’re talking about the Texas *Rat*snake....

@@bearsplitz965 I hope you at least eat them too then

No doubt, they're like the professionally trained thespians on Broadway of the snake world. Definitely one of favorites.

Your mike is too low

racist

dont we all

He looks like a polar bear

So laid back

hes a human

He isn’t underfed..

Young man Keep searching. Be respectful but make your own path. Survival skills will come in handy soon. You'll make it when your classmates won't. Smile

Those evasive worm snakes would always show up in my parents bathroom in Texas and only in that one room of the whole house they are really nice especially the albino ones Wich are even more rare

You should let the snakes in your barn live. They control the rodent population.

@@jamessullivan1348 I did let them live. Plus, ot was a broody hen eating her own eggs! I never expected that.

@@chickensdontsurf I have seen chickens eat other chickens after they had died, but not a hen eating her own eggs. Hope those snakes get rid of the vermin for ya! 👍

@@jamessullivan1348 It's bad news bears when they do. Once they start, they teach all the other hens to do it, too. Many people cull the whole flock when it happens.

Making these videos in order to educate the public, not so much in the art of trapping snakes... but so that they can see me interact peacefully with them, that they are not evil or necessarily dangerous. Little by little, helping people get past their biases and encourage more animal husbandry. Thank you for watching. There will likely be additional snake trapping videos this next spring. Cheers.

+Bob Hansler Lol cheers

Scared the shit out of me

WHAT PART was it at?

lol that's funny

+ItsThatAidanGuy - Minecraft it was at 13:03

+ItsThatAidanGuy - Minecraft Wait nvm it was at 16:57

I have seen him a time or two. Glad you found the channel. Will be switching into fall mode soon and the video output will increase due to the favorable weather. Appreciate the kind words. More videos to come. Cheers.

I hope this becomes a huge thing. Thank you for being here as it grows.

Adventures are great, but an adventure without good companions can never be epic.

Holy shit, I thought the same. It's the soft speaking and tone of voice.

Travis L. Yes, that's it!

Treble Hook 😂😂😂😂fr

And ahh were just gonna paint a happy little hognose here in the gully, and that will just be our little secret...

It's the calm demeanor!

I appreciate that greatly. We are out here working hard to make this a reality. We'll keep on making these vids and see where it takes us. Glad you found the channel and thank you for the encouragement.

Didn't respect the frog.

Rather enjoy making them myself : )

good ,keep it up

That is the goal. Respect and reverence towards nature... and if a snake must be euthanized, hopefully it can be done humanely and used for used for food / skin.

I am looking at making some videos using the atlatl this coming season. We harvest a deer each season, a few young pigs as the freezer needs them, and a Turkey or two depending on the flock populations. Lots of small game as they present themselves. I do have to remove armadillos from a few elderly couples yards back towards town as each year they repopulate so successfully that they cover lawns at night. They dig little pits everywhere, which becomes a walking hazard for the older folks.

Bob Hansler kudos to you for helping the older folks with armadillos! They are a nuisance!

Bruh😂😂😂😂😂

In America there alot of shelter dogs, so he could've adopted him like that.

I've heard that's exactly why as farm herding dogs that is why they remove the tail...the cattle grab the tail and swing the dog,,causing injury...never followed up on the comment.....I had Blue healer,also a great dog,,left tail because I feel a dog needs a tail to wag.....also shows their mood , health or anxiety ...

@@rockytopwrangler2069 cattle will not bite a dog and swing it. A mean horse would though. I've seen horses try to kill a dog.

@@darinnooren6817 Noted,,Just a comment told to me from someone that lived the ranching life..

I have a ball python. How is your cornsnake?

where did you put the trap

Absolutely, they are the most common for me to come across where I live. They are commonly referred to as rat of chicken snakes here in MS.

Cold Blood Creations, I never seen one (Texas rat snake specifically) in person. But they are beatiful creatures and a good one for sure to have on the property.

that'd be a huge rat snake. Not taken my book out, and love to learn. I thought it was a bull snake. GREAT video. The next generation /^5 Sweet hognose too. Most likely did not fake death as escape cover was right there. Again - Great stuff

Caught a Texas rat snake in Alabama a few weeks ago, looked just like that one.

I live in Central Arkansas near the Arkansas River. I started finding a lot of these Ratsnakes with that same color and pattern. We have "traditional ratsnkakes and chicken snakes", but that pattern is much more distinctive. The Texas Ratsnake! Now I know what they are! Thanks for the comment and sharing your knowledge!

Private land. Trap placement has now become the most important variable. Check out a few more of the snake vids.

I have eaten quite a few Rattlesnakes when working in the West Texas mountains... but that was a place that suported large populations of the unique reptile and It could handle my sporadic foraging. I do have a video of cooking one such rattlesnake on my channel. I might at a future time make a few more vids showing some of the other methods of preparing and cooking snakes, but it would likely be bak in West Texas and at a time and year where the populations would not suffer.

Thank you will look for that video

+Bob Hansler what is the point for the big knife if you are not going to kill the snakes I mean some of the snakes could kill your dog

A knife is used primarily as a tool for cutting. Different variations in blade design and size allow for specialization. It is also important to nite as there seems to be some fonfusion in your comment, that just because you have a tool capable of killing an animal, it does not mean that you should. Same goes for snakes and my pup. Just because a snake has the potential to injur an individual, it does not mean that it has any such inclination. I encourage you to explore my channel further.

Bob I was squirming not to the fact that you dispatched the snake but because of the fact it was a snake . I do not care for them I give them a wide berth. And as for knives i too carry a Bowie and a neck knife . I also do not have any problem with hunting . I and my family do and have hunted for food. I also think that many should understand primitive ways of harvesting wild animals be it sling, bow or trap of any kind .

He's pretty in tune to everything Bob does. Huck has been out and about with us on all our adventures since we got him as a pup.
