In what was to be a little trip to the French River Visitor Centre for a hike turned out to be an extremely rare chance meeting with a Massasauga Rattlesnake which is Ontario's only venomous snake and is considered an Endangered Species in Ontario and can in Canada can only be found in Ontario. Enjoy the video!!
Special thanks to Kris from KrisK Productions for the drone footage at the end of the video.

For some reason I never thought the rattle snake would be that big. We have them at high falls now and they are babies compared to that. I'd die lol. Really cool to see however, through your hike @French River. Great video yet again.

@PinetreeLine 6 лет назад

+Rikki Duval Thanks so much Rikki for all your support and I'm glad you liked the video. The snakes you're referring to at high falls are milk snakes which are often mistaken for rattlesnakes. I don't mind snakes but at a distance is how I definitely prefer them!! Lol. Thanks again for watching & commenting..Doug

@SCSlimBoiseID 6 лет назад

That was a pretty beefy buzzworm you ran into. I have this deal with those devils: they stay hid so I don't see them, they don't buzz or bite, and they get to live. Down here in Idaho we have plenty of non-venomous snakes to eat voles, field mice, and other critters. No need for old fang face. Nice video. Cheers.

@PinetreeLine 6 лет назад

+Apple Stump Bushcraft Stuff and Things Well said my friend and I completely agree with how you're looking at the situation with these devils!! Thanks for your support!! Appreciate it!! Doug

@richardboucher6859 Год назад

Lots of them in the Parry Sound area there beautiful

Parry Sound is beautiful Richard, rattlesnakes…not so much 😂. Appreciate you taking the time to watch! 👍🏻 Doug

Nice part of ontario - A buddy from the Nippising Reserve told me a friend of his was bit from that snake and said you don't die but you know you were bit. He was an OPP officer and over his time as a cop in the area yes he has dealt with them biting people. Its rare you have to step on them to get you to bite their quite docile apparently.

@PinetreeLine 6 лет назад

+STEVE ROB That's exactly what I hear as well. You pretty much have to step on one for it to bite you otherwise they are shy and don't want to be bothered. I wouldn't be upset if I never see one again lol. Thanks for watching Steve!! Appreciate it!! Doug

Used to see a lot of rattlesnakes up by Tobermory. Awesome vid, brings back good memories of musky fishing the French.

@PinetreeLine 6 лет назад

+Maplehouse Knives and Bushcraft You obviously know the area well. I did some musky fishing on Nipissing years ago. Great having you along for the ride!! Appreciate your support and look forward catching up on your videos. You do amazing work! Doug

@PinetreeLine 6 лет назад

+Nomadic Woodsman You're very welcome. Definitely a history of Voyageurs at the French River and throughout this area. Let me know if you come up, I'd love to show you around. Appreciate you taking the time to watch and comment, honoured. Love your channel!! Doug

@GearReviewDepot 6 лет назад

Beautiful area to hike and explore, even with the snake. Love the drone footage at the end, I really need to pick one of those up.

@PinetreeLine 6 лет назад

+TheTacticalDefender It is a beautiful area and very popular during the summer months...even with the off chance of running into a snake lol. I'm loving the drone footage too and I'm lucky one of my best friends has one and flies it well. I hope to incorporate more drone stuff moving forward when it's appropriate. Thanks for taking the time to watch and comment Tim!! Your continued support is very much appreciated!! Doug

@joshbabb7470 6 лет назад

That's cool I didn't know you had rattle snakes that far north. - Josh

@PinetreeLine 6 лет назад

+White Oak Outdoors This is about the end of the line for rattlesnakes as far as being this far North. Some say that they are slowing pushing north. Either way it's interesting to actually see one cause it's a rare sighting up here. Thanks for watching my friend. Appreciate it! Doug

@ZZoutdoors 6 лет назад

Seen two copperheads this year..no rattlers! Looks like a great place to visit! Thanks fer the share. ZZ.

@PinetreeLine 6 лет назад

+ZZ outdoors Brother I would be happy not to see another rattlesnake ever again. We don't have any other venomous snakes around here thank goodness lol. Thanks for watching!! Appreciate it!! Doug

For taking me along again

+Ranger Kooky Thanks Brother! Appreciate you taking the time to watch!! Doug

@AdamCraigOutdoors 6 лет назад

i haven't spent much time around the french river but any time i have been there i always enjoyed it. Never saw rattlesnakes but did see lots of water snakes!! Thanks for taking us along!!

@PinetreeLine 6 лет назад

+Adam Craig Outdoors Absolutely the same experience here. I've spent a fair amount of time in the area growing up due to a good friend having a camp on the French and never saw a rattlesnake but saw lots of water snakes. That's why I was in disbelief when I actually saw the rattlesnake lol. Thanks so much for taking time to watch and I appreciate your support!! Doug

@sonofamountain2862 6 лет назад

I run into alot of them here in southern California,specially in early summer.thanks for sharing!!

@PinetreeLine 6 лет назад

+black mountain side They are very rare here. Seeing one was really cool even though I don't care for snakes, I don't have an issue with them as long as they keep to themselves lol. Thanks so much for watching my friend. Appreciate it! Doug

@ILLBEDRONED 6 лет назад

Another great video even with the snake encounter! Ran across a 3' mature copperhead a couple weeks back, makes me take notice! Hat's off to your droneographer, beautiful place to fly!

@PinetreeLine 6 лет назад

+I'LL BEE DRONED! Yikes! Thank goodness no copperheads here!! I'm not a big fan of any snakes lol. My droneographer loves when I ask him to add something and I really appreciate what you guys can do and add to any video. You're gonna have to come up and shoot some video for me! Lol. Thanks again for taking the time my friend! Doug

@evankaiafas6219 4 года назад

It is actually a Northern Water Snake (Nerodia sipedon sipedon). You can identify it by the horizontal reddish or orangish blotches on the side of the snake that meet those horizontal lines on the back of the snake. If you aren’t sure what species of snake you see, contact the Ontario ministry of natural resources. Cool find! But, its not a Sauga.

@PinetreeLine 4 года назад

Thanks for the information Evan!! I have realized since that it was indeed a water snake. I prefer not to meet up with any snakes 😂. Doug

@martinadejaquiz2482 6 лет назад

well, we see rattlesnakes all the time here (texas) and copperheads too all the time, but i had zero idea they could handle the cold of canada. so, i'm very surprised. liked & thx!

@PinetreeLine 6 лет назад

Yikes!! Snakes all the time? Not just any snakes either lol. I don’t know how you handle that especially if you love the outdoors. I’d assume there was one around every rock or tree lol. Surprisingly enough there is s very healthy population of rattlesnakes here primarily because they are a protected species here due to being deemed almost extinct years ago. None in my immediate area where I spend the vast majority of time in the woods but only about 30 miles south they are abundant. They have adapted to the cold of Canada by staying below the frost line during winter but above the water table. Thanks so much for watching Martina!! Appreciate it!! Doug

@thebuspasscamper3999 6 лет назад

Just aswell you seen it and not felt it Lol, still cool though, looked a brilliant stretch of river for kayaking Guys, Northern Ontario looks really wild and beautiful, thanks for sharing your adventure, Regards George.

@PinetreeLine 6 лет назад

+THE BUSPASSCAMPER The French River is 110km long so there is plenty of River for all types of water sports & camping, both wild and permanent. It definitely has its own beauty and I hope to keep showing more. Thanks for watching & commenting George!! Appreciate it very much!! Doug

@mdmelbourne6076 6 лет назад

Hey Doug that is a amazing place man thanks for sharing brother at least those things warn you 3 years back i was wondering through the bush here in ozz on the side of the track there was a 8 foot king brown just doing its thing did not care that i was there Happy hiking. jim

@PinetreeLine 6 лет назад

+MD Melbourne I don't know how you guys leave the safety of the cities there ever lol. So many dangerous critters there. Glad you enjoyed the video Brother!! Be safe my friend while you do your thing! Happy hunting!! Doug

@NoTrail 6 лет назад

Perty....could sure spend a lifetime exploring all that Canada has to offer. Heck of a foot bridge.

@PinetreeLine 6 лет назад

+Patrick Caple We are definitely lucky to have the landscapes we do. Thanks a lot for taking time to watch & comment. Appreciate it very much...Doug

@maddogbushcraft1475 6 лет назад

Cheers Doug , thanks for sharing what a beautiful part of the world you live in, just glad we don,t have snakes in the uk. lol ATB Pete

@PinetreeLine 6 лет назад

+madDog Bushcraft Thanks for watching & commenting Pete!! Appreciate it!! Trust me I'm not a big fan of snakes either lol. Can't wait to make it to the U.K someday!! Beautiful landscapes there too..just different. Cool that we can share our experiences with each other through RU-vid. Thanks again Pete! ATB Doug.

@asiam7436 6 лет назад

I love Canada so much I must have had a past life there. My parents took us camping there when I was little. I get back there every once in awhile crossing the Minnesota/Ontario border.

@PinetreeLine 6 лет назад

+Solo Over 50 Thank you so much for the kind words and you are welcome to come back to Canada anytime!! Doug

@MidTnOutdoors 6 лет назад

Great vid brother. That was a cool sighting on the snake.

@PinetreeLine 6 лет назад

+MidTnOutdoors Thanks brother! I'm glad I saw it first! Lol. Thanks for watching & commenting! Appreciate it!! Doug

@TranquilGeo 6 лет назад

Glad you got to see that...from a distance. lol. Even though I can easily identify the timber rattler and copperhead in my state, I've yet to see one outside of a zoo. Great video and let me be another person who drools over how absolutely stunning Canada is.

@PinetreeLine 6 лет назад

+Tranquil Nature Well this was a first for me and regardless of signage and rumours I didn't really expect to see one. Being endangered in Ontario and a shy species of rattler made things all the more incomprehensible as it was happening lol. I appreciate the kind comments about our Country as I have been in many places in yours and there are many beautiful places. Thanks for watching & commenting. I appreciate it!! Doug

@Brandewey 7 лет назад

Very cool. It felt like I was there along beside you hiking through the woods. Beautiful places. I loved the piano music at the end :D

@charliebrady3751 3 года назад

I'm just back from eight days canoe camping on the French River and Georgian Bay. Saw both a Missasauga Rattlesnake and a Northern Water Snake. The former was rattling at me (and my dog), and the Water Snake was swimming in the water - immediately offshore and less than a metre from my feet. Both looked very similar and were similar sizes. This is the rattler - it was right at Georgian Bay near the Bad River rapids. photos.app.goo.gl/BzX4cnqE5Bzx7JJm7

@PinetreeLine 3 года назад

Yikes! You sure were surrounded Charlie!! Great pictures! It’s definitely hard to tell them apart especially curled up in some grass like in my case. A great sighting for you, not something that happens up here much at all...thankfully 😂. Thanks for sharing your experience and your photos!! Doug

@traceyhunt1983 5 лет назад

I saw a massassauga rattler near westport ontario yesterday. My grandaughter and dog were with us. When the dog sniffed it the snake rattled...we all heard it. The snake was about 3 ft long.

@PinetreeLine 5 лет назад

Yikes! It’s a very unsettling feeling cause they are so rarely seen. Like I said in the video, I didn’t want to believe it was a rattler even knowing that particular area of the French River is well known to be home to massassauga rattlesnakes. Thanks for sharing your experience Tracey! Have a great weekend! Doug

@YankeesOutdoorAdventures 7 лет назад

Rattlesnakes can definitely be some serious business. I always tell people "I was bit by a rattlesnake once, and after several days of intense pain, the snake died"😁 beautiful scenery excellent hike bro glad you shared👍

@PinetreeLine 7 лет назад

+Yankees Outdoor Adventures Lmao Yankee!! Thanks for watching and taking a couple minutes to comment. Always appreciate your support my friend. Doug

@scenichwys4952 5 лет назад

I first saw Mississauga rattle snakes in the French River area back in the 1960s. They were not very common then, but must be now. In 2009 I seen one at Rock Lake just south of Sudbury. They are moving north.

@PinetreeLine 5 лет назад

There’s no doubt they will eventually move north. I haven’t seen any others but I’ve heard of a few being seen in and around the south end of Sudbury in the long lake area. Thanks for your input and I appreciate you watching! Doug

@NativeTearz 6 лет назад

What a beautiful place!!! Wow!! Except for that snake!!! I'm not a fan of them! At all

@PinetreeLine 6 лет назад

+Native Tearz Lol I'm with you about snakes!! I have no issue with them but I don't care to see them in person. Weird thing was that I had a feeling I'd see a rattlesnake that day and I did! It is definitely a beautiful place. Thank you so much for taking time to watch & comment. I appreciate the support. Doug

@IamThatGuy187 4 года назад

@typicalrockhound9887 6 лет назад

Do u ever think about now everything was before and after the Sudbury impact when u hike in those areas ? , It gives me a brainfart lol but find it interesting bigtime , geology is my life xD Always think bout stuff like that when i wonder around .

@PinetreeLine 6 лет назад

I do often wonder how things were before the big impact. How things must have looked. Definitely an interesting landscape now. Thanks for watching this one my friend. Doug
