I may be the only one here who doesn't have a problem with snakes, poisonous or not. When we encounter them in the wild even if its in or near a deer blind, we're on their turf. I usually don't kill any anymore just move them somewhere away from where I frequent. That being said rattlesnakes are pretty tasty.

I've got a place in Concho County next to OH Ivie Lake that has a few buzz bugs on it if anyone is interested in collecting a few. PM me if interested.

What's with the mirrors? The mirrors reflect sunlight down into the hole so that we can see better. Easy to carry and doesn't need batteries. Sometimes the snakes will be a right at the top of the hole but you can't see them.

My dumb @$$ couldn't come up with any logic for it other than thinking about cats/dogs chasing lasers!

Very cool video and nice catches!
Good to see people not using gasoline.
Yep, you'd have a great time at the Sweetwater roundup.

I usually don't kill any anymore just move them somewhere away from where I frequent. That being said rattlesnakes are pretty tasty. I am with you brother. I killed a bunch of bull snakes one day when I was a boy and my stepdad got on to me about killing snakes, even venomous ones because they keep the rats and pests in check. The other caveat, is if you keep the rodents and bunnies, and etc. in check near the home, the snakes are less likely to come around. I kill venomous snakes on my home turf, where my kids play. But in the woods I leave them alone. Edit- I must add, it was a cool video. And I don't see the harm in hunting, harvesting, trapping, skinning, selling, etc. within the limits of the law for snakes or anything else. Nothing wrong with that. As long as they are not killed and just wasted...
