I made another video for you guys. I gotta say, I really am enjoying making these. I told my brother I need to borrow his drone to get some really good footage. Maybe of a good pig hunt or something?

If you've never been to the Sweetwater Roundup, it is quite a sight to see! To see the massive number of snakes that are caught is unbelievable. And they do it every year.........

Hate snakes. Started to go to the one in Sweetwater back in the 80's and got as far as the front gates and heard the buzzing. Turned around, cause they would let me take my 12 Gauge shot gun pulling a couple cases of #4's in my Little red wagon. Boom!

Them are good people catchin those snakes so the rest of us have fewer encounters with the deadly things. Every one counts even if it doesn't put much of a dent in the population. Nice video

OK...don't know if this has been said yet or not BUT...the scariest part for me is that I cannot see the snakes until they are on the end of the stick in the air.
