I live close to whitetail ski resort on blairs valley road. Years ago Maryland and Pennsylvania experienced an earthquake about 1 hour prior to the earthquake my cousin and I counted over 30 Rattlesnakes on a 1 mile stretch of Blairs valley road. Every summer I'll see maybe 3 Rattlesnakes crossing the road but the day of that earthquake we counted over 30 Rattlesnakes on the road. Obviously the earthquake had something to do with it I haven't seen that many Rattlesnakes on the road at one time before or sence that day
Thank you for sharing that experience! I can't imagine what that day was like for you and looking back, at what was next to come. I'm sharing this with my group for future reference.
My grandparents lived on the other side of the mountain back in the corner. I saw rattlesnakes every year on the pipe line that ran over the mountain. My mother said when she was a kid they would get a few in the yard every summer.. I'm sure that made going to the outhouse at night an adventure. People used to burn patches to grow huckleberries and often you would see rattle snakes near the huckleberry patches.
PA must have massive numbers of rattlers and copper heads with all the videos. I am in the Pacific NW and look at the deer hunting in PA so I am gearing up for a hunt with first buy was the snake proof chaps and boot grads
Depends on where you are honestly. These snakes like higher elevation and warm sunny spots like rocks and log piles. With some muck style boots you'll be fine. Thank you for watching!
@@hightoneshoneybadger7015 I got geared up with the snake chaps and snake proof boot covers so if I am surprised, I will be saved. I tried a few years ago hunting PA north side of I think it was HWY 80 then got a monster buck on a power line by shooting over a large valley using a 300 Weatherby mag.
Hey stranger. Just reach down and pick them up. We did it all the time in Potter growing up. Just kiddin! I’m afraid of them. And I hate them. I only watched to get ya some minutes. Lol. And I watched every second. Was hoping you’d pull out the detector. Stay safe!!!! Kevin
I seriously don't doubt that, you Potter County citizens aren't right!! I have been having a slow year detecting due to weather and permissions so I thought I'd show off some of Pennsylvania's other treasures hahaha. Happy hunting Kevin!
@@hightoneshoneybadger7015 killed SEVERAL 5ft timbers, LOTS and LOTS of 5-7ft easterns.............thick as your forearm where it hits the elbow, FAT snakes !! Need to start WEIGHING them after measuring them
Lol i was working in stony valley last year for the game commision on the closed dirt road August, September, counted no less then 35 timbers just on the road. Crazy how many i saw
They like sunny warm areas with easy cover, such as rocks and logs. I've seen them in other areas as they hunt and mate but I NEVER have encountered a rattlesnake in PA that is aggressive. They want to get away. So you should be fine!
Drilling about 4 to 5 miles up in the mountains in Pennsylvania for a few months ..and I tell you what they don't like the Vibration in the ground . Just surrounded by them all day 😂😂. You watch every step very carefully .
Uh......No thanks lol. Pretty cool to see you guys handle them though. We don’t have too many around here, but two big boys were found on the road dead last week. Timber Rattlers I believe. Hope all is well your way Mick. Take care and HH
Since the ground isn't giving up too many signals this summer I figured I would throw up a different kind of video. The hills of Pennsylvania are full of rattlers if you know where to look. I'll be posting at least one more video from this season. Hope all is well Jerimy and let's do some digging again soon!
I live in Central PA and though ive seen a good many Rattlers ive never been lucky enough to see one in the black phase its always been the yellow phase..
@@hightoneshoneybadger7015 is it true that the black phase are found more in higher elevations? Just curious cause if so thats probably why i havent seen any, maybe im not going high enough..
@@hightoneshoneybadger7015 Dude no you did not just say that... I knew when you said keeper and taking the wrinkles out.. kinda made me sad, but I get it.. I hunt too. How do you dispatch them? Just curious...
There is a rattlesnake hunting season in Pennsylvania from the middle of June through the end of July annually. A venomous snake permit is required, and each permit allows for the taking of one male rattlesnake at least 42 inches long. So when I say a snake is legal, I'm saying the snake is the longer than 42 inches.
These a VERY DANGEROUS serpents and they should be eliminated as soon as they are found , so many innocent animals and humans are bitten every year . Who in their right mind would eat a poisonous thing like that.
It's ok to study them and play with them and look at them but in the end I agree they should be free to do their thing. They pose no threat to anyone who isn't an idiot.
I grew up in the mtns of western Nc and I stayed in the woods. One day I came up on 2 snakes going at it and it looked like they just started. One was a timber or eastern diamond back I can’t really remember and the other was a king black and let me tell ya that rattler was easily twice the size of the black snake. That rattler must of striked that black 4 or 5 times and it acted like it didn’t even feel anything. After a few mins of fighting the black wrapped around the rattler and must of smothered it cause it stopped moving and I shit you not that black snake ate the rattler. This whole spectacle took about 20 mins. I couldn’t believe the black swallowed or what ever you call it for snakes that whole diamond back. To this day the coolest thing I’ve ever seen.
@@hightoneshoneybadger7015 yeah unfortunately cell were still in trial stages and video cameras were huge and my parents couldn’t afford it anyway. It would’ve been a viral video for sure

All rattlesnakes try to do is get away. I have a new respect for them...
Yeah they aren't what most people think about them!
I saw one that took up the whole road once, longest snake I've ever seen in the wild & it was a timber rattler
I have to know what state you saw it in!
@@hightoneshoneybadger7015 A delusional state
This looks real, this being a rubber snake looks real until the speed is adjusted. Pretty good
This biggin reminds me of the ones we get here near Chattanooga right on the Georgia border .
I'd like to go down there and check it out!

LOL, big snake ? Come down to SW Mississippi, take ALL you want ! Timber or eastern diamondback, help yo' self
I would love to!

Great video.. Thank you
Thank you!
I live in Dauphin County up in the mountains near Halifax and people STILL don't believe me when I tell them we have rattlers here.
Haha how it that even possible?! Beautiful area.
Lol i was working in stony valley last year for the game commision on the closed dirt road August, September, counted no less then 35 timbers just on the road. Crazy how many i saw
I've been in the game lands in the creeks looking for Indian artifacts and I've worried about rattlesnakes. Should I be ?
They like sunny warm areas with easy cover, such as rocks and logs. I've seen them in other areas as they hunt and mate but I NEVER have encountered a rattlesnake in PA that is aggressive. They want to get away. So you should be fine!

We find them all over up near the pa grand canyon as well. Some decent snakes for sure.
OK Dude tell me if I'm wrong....The Gas Line off Bell Draft?
Yes! You are right. I didn't see your question and I apologize!
I live in Central PA and though ive seen a good many Rattlers ive never been lucky enough to see one in the black phase its always been the yellow phase..
I see about 70% yellow phase and 30% black phase. I think it's just luck on my end!
@@hightoneshoneybadger7015 yeah, that seems pretty good.. Hopefully one of these days ill get to see one..
@@jamescollins1578 let me know when you do
@@hightoneshoneybadger7015 Absolutely will.
@@hightoneshoneybadger7015 is it true that the black phase are found more in higher elevations? Just curious cause if so thats probably why i havent seen any, maybe im not going high enough..
Do you take the rattles off all your snakes or just the big ones.
I've only tagged three snakes total and stopped keeping them all together. All snakes are released unharmed.
My biggest in eastern KY was only 52 inches long n had 13 n a button but was big around as my leg!!
I'm still looking for another big one like that!
No kidding its eat time , it taste like chicken they say ...I had a chance at wild game of everything didn't do it I would of known the taste
Have a question where can you buy the snake proof boots
I go through tractor supply. All the major brands make snake boots such as Rocky, Irish Settler, etc. Cabelas and the sportsman's guide also.
Just curious, what do you do with the keepers?
I've only ever kept two, most get filmed under go. Those two I tanned the skin and ate the rest.
@@hightoneshoneybadger7015 Dude no you did not just say that... I knew when you said keeper and taking the wrinkles out.. kinda made me sad, but I get it.. I hunt too. How do you dispatch them? Just curious...
@@melissakitelinger7543 sorry! But I remove the head in a quick manner. A very sharp knife does the trick believe it or not.
What are you hunting these snakes for? You keep saying there legal?
There is a rattlesnake hunting season in Pennsylvania from the middle of June through the end of July annually. A venomous snake permit is required, and each permit allows for the taking of one male rattlesnake at least 42 inches long. So when I say a snake is legal, I'm saying the snake is the longer than 42 inches.
The biggest one in Kentucky was 76 inches 21 rattles and a butt
That is a freaking monster!
These a VERY DANGEROUS serpents and they should be eliminated as soon as they are found , so many innocent animals and humans are bitten every year . Who in their right mind would eat a poisonous thing like that.
Thanks for watching!
5 people per year die from snakebite in the US. 16 people die per year in the US from dogs. Irrational fear.
@@wvmike7008 thank you for that information!
Not true at ALL
Your on mason mountain in driftwood pa
Some parts were filmed there! Good eye!
I think it’s best to leave em alone
It's ok to study them and play with them and look at them but in the end I agree they should be free to do their thing. They pose no threat to anyone who isn't an idiot.
Too roughly handled
Thank you for pointing that out, always trying to learn!
The bear gives your spot away. Try not to post too much info in your videos there are already too many people hunting them in that spot.
I agree. I actually don't hunt them there (the bear site) I was only there to see what all the hype was about. The real site is mostly a secret still!
@@hightoneshoneybadger7015 please don't kill or hurt them unless they pose you a direct threat. They don't bother us let's not bother them.
was that a clarion wrestling shirt ?
Yeah buddy. Good eye!
@@hightoneshoneybadger7015 Where are you hunting at. Any where near Dubois or Bennezette ?
@@miketost6552 This was filmed in the Dents Run area. I hunt SB Elliott but it hasn't been good for me this year.
@@hightoneshoneybadger7015 where at in dents ? I am a member of a camp up top
Oh man I don't know if I want to give up my secret! The hills between Dents and Hicks. Are you into snakes or need some hunted over your way?
I don't eat meat eaters at all its all grain fed stuff
I would love to see that big boy put in a pen with a king black snake. That would be awesome to see
Who wins?!
@@hightoneshoneybadger7015 the king not only wins he will eat the rattler

Why? Why would you do this to animals? It's not sexy.
Leave them alone
Reasons unknown but never r r seen a rattlesnake but if I did its dead on the spot no locks about it im doing it
Boring
