I was bit by a copperhead when I accidentally stepped on it at 5 years old in Asheboro, N.C. I will tell you now...the pain was absolutely indescribable. It felt like someone held a blowtorch to my foot. I was bit on my left ankle and to this day I have nerve pain radiating when the weather changes. Snake bites can cause long-term damage. Always wear high boots when you are exploring the woods.
ther1rida ther1rida i got bitten when i was 8 yrs old in both ankles it was cray im sorry to hear u didn’t make a full recovery i thank my lord jesus made a full recovery from this scary accident

There's something very beautiful about someone doing a job they are 100% passionate and excited about.
Who’s here because of the guy who got congratulated because he’s the first victim of a copper head snake in 25 yrs?
BROO me😂

how’d you know😂

Should also mention that copperheads rely on their camouflage to a fault, believing themselves to be invisible as long as they don't move. This means that they won't run away like most snakes until directly confronted, which too often is after they've already been stepped on.
I stepped on one once! Makes sense now that iv read your comment! Lucky it was just a baby
@@444Dragoncheese Sometimes a baby can be worse since they can't control their venom output so they might just dump it all into you

I found a copperhead on my porch. The swamps are bad here in Arkansas
Arkansas every summer you find some in a swampy area in our park with a pond
We just caught a rattlesnake here at my house in WV. All he has to do is come this way to find one 😂
The most dangerous part of this adventure would be running into an active moonshine operation.....No witnesses!
Growing up in the 60s suburbia , the Appalachian wilderness was nearby. Of course , we were always adult supervised & if you managed to wonder off were thoroughly chewed out when you got back . One of the chewing points was there are Stills out there & those moonshiners don’t take chances with letting you live .
What's a moonshiner?
ReptileLover 21
People making moonshine alcohol/liquor.

@@reptilelover2129 I hope you are joking.
I was bitten by a large copperhead in PA. Bit in the hand and they had to cut my arm the whole way up past my elbow to relieve the pressure from swelling. I was in the ICU for 3 days and hospital for 9 days. Please be careful around them!
cut your arm off?!
@@jellypug5732 hard to explain kid
The swelling gets so great , its either cut , or the flesh will rip, its called compartmentalism , if i remember correctly

My wife and I just moved to Kentucky from Upstate New York and we were told that the best way to keep snakes out the yard is using your lawn mower on a regular basis.

@@imnotusingthisanymore2300 I thought it was practical
At first I read the title “how dangerous is the cornbread” and I was super confused and intrigued.
Selective reading skills strike again! You must be hungry.

Same here
My Dad told me a story of how my uncles as kids would dig for redworms to sell to fisherman as they lived by a flood control reservoir in Jackson Co., TN. On one worm digging adventure, They noticed the redworms that had just dug up had eyes. Upon showing them to their Dad, he told them to get rid of them. He told them shortly afterwards they were baby copperheads. How either of them avoided being bitten is still a mystery and a frequently told family story.
Probably earth snakes. Many misidentify snakes. Earth snakes look like worms and live in the moist grass/dirt in cool areas. Under rocks etc
Coyote, something you didn’t mention, is that Copperheads have a strong odor of cucumber. If you’re out in an area where there is potential for snakes and you smell cucumber, be very alert, because it’s probably not a cucumber you smell.
Chances are, it’s a Copperhead. I found one in southern OH once. I didn’t know what it was when I caught it. I took it in to my grandma because she was a snake fanatic, and before she even seen it she said “you’ve got a Copperhead there.” Then she explained to me about the cucumber smell.
Coyote is the closest thing to a Steve Irwin that we’ve had since his death. He loves wildlife and never comes off as a disingenuous dude. I originally thought he was looking for views by getting bit in every video but realized he’s got so much heart for nature. Respect❤️
Steve Irwin said that he would catch any snake except a copperhead because of how aggressive they are. Steve Irwin was a legend and a hero and it’s good to see people like Coyote carrying the torch and raising the bar.
@@nipsarecomingoff1902 I live pretty close to where they are in this video, within about 100 miles. We have so many dangerous creatures here in the Appalachian mountains. Black bear, timber rattler, water moccasin, brown recluse, black widow, and worst of all, hillbilly meth heads. All very dangerous and unpredictable.
Gotta watch out for the hillbilly meth heads lol. I’m from Ohio so I know what you mean. Interesting fact: When I was just 7, I was bitten by the brown recluse while I was asleep (on my left foot). Made it to the hospital in time for doctors to extract the flesh-eating venom, but 18 years later my left leg is still a little bigger than the right.
Apple Pie check out Forrest Galante. He’s the real next Irwin
You should definitely check out what his kids are up to, especially Robert Irwin. They're so much like Steve and it's quite amazing to watch them
Snake: Thanks to my venom, I can finally end this mans whole career!
Snake: Goes into tube
Snake: Wait, no!!
😁😀😄
😂
Lol
Omg lol that is haarious
Copper heads can not kill a full grown adult. I've been bitten three times. No medical treatment ever.
How deadly is the copperhead?
A: deadly enough.
Copper heads look so badass the color and the shape of their head.. I love how awesome venomous snakes look

Big brain move
Cause the head is the most important part to find first so you know where the snakes point of position is
You definitely want to keep an eye on the head.
I love seeing Mario being a expert with everything
As much as I fear snakes, I respect that you returned this snake unharmed and right back to its original location.
Coyote: How deadly is a copperhead?
Copperhead: yes
This sounds ridiculous but....I'm more afraid of ticks than snakes.
it isn’t dude, don’t worry
Michael Cline I’m just the opposite.
Michael Cline same here
Don't worry, that is not weird. Ticks can spread fatal diseases.
lol ticks are more scary then snakes i agree
I just wanna say this is the first channel I've supported so thank you for making quality videos.
Glad you like them!
I directed a geological field study in Wake County, NC for about three years, way back in the 90s. Copperheads were common within the field area, and they blended perfectly with the ground cover. Anyone who didn't know what to look for might easily step on one or more a day, but everyone wore boots and snake leggings. I've never seen so many Copperheads in one area. They are beautiful snakes, but very different from the Western Diamondbacks and Mojave rattlers I was accustomed to seeing in the Big Bend region of Texas.
Most people aren't aware that NC has more snake bites than any other state and I believe Wake County has the most snake bites in NC. I live in Wake County near Wake Forest and every year would encounter multiple copperheads in my yard----but once I got rid of all my pine trees I saw no more snakes. I had one strike at me last year as I was checking trail cameras in Durham county. Walked right by and didn't see him. He hit my pants leg. I was lucky
As a service-member stationed overseas that’s from West Virginia, it makes me so happy to see one of my favorite RUclipsrs in my back yard. Thanks Coyote.
Alex ,, thanks man
Thanks for your service!
Thanks for ur service!God bless!stay safe and healthy!
We have one hell of a beautiful state, don’t we? Montani Semper Liberi, and thank you for your service, Alex!
God I hate living around these things😭 I’m from logan county
When I was 8 years old, I got face to face with one. We stared at each other. I walked away. Beautiful encounter
Edit on 5/30/21, : WHY ARE YALLS STILL REPLYING AFTER A YEAR AND I DONT WANT TO KNOW ABT YALLS KILLING SNAKES PLS WHY ARE YALLS MAD
Just more proof that snakes are gentle creatures with no intention of harming you.
Hey man same thing happened to me when I was about 8 or 9 I was walking in the woods with my cousin and I just sorta walked up on it looked at it and turned around and bolted now that I think back on it it was perfectly fine and had no aggression in it but my 8 year old mind did not think that
Same
Sebastian Randolph hold up why were you in the woods?
Hotaro what’s wrong with being in the woods
Reminds me of when my brother almost stepped on a Copperhead a few years ago. The encounter was all the more surprising given we were in the suburbs of Northern Virginia!
We were climbing on some rocks lining one of the many streams that cut a path of nature through the endless neighborhoods. My brother saw the snake right as he jumped, and just managed to avoid the snake and evoking a strike! He pointed it out, asking what I thought it was, and I knew what it was. I had only read about them or saw them at the zoo up to that point.
We just admired the animal from a safe enough distance for our adolescent minds, and went back home. In hindsight, I realize we probably should have called someone to relocate the snake to a safer location.
Thanks Coyote and TEAM for sharing this interesting video

@Casa De Jarp 🤣🤣🤣
What a long hike to find a snake.🐍 I opened the back porch door, and there was a copperhead blending in with the fall leaves and pine needles - I almost stepped on it! Scared 😱 in South Carolina!
I grew up in Washington County Western Maryland and as a kid we had Copperheads all the time in our backyard. Every year - typically in spring and fall when snakes are laying in warm spots and camouflaged - people would step on one and get bit while hiking the Appalachian Trail not watching where they're stepping. Very important when hiking!
It’s West Virginia you could just walked down the highway and found either of those snakes
In some places swim next to them. lol
I live in central MS, and they're both all over the place here. All ya gotta do is go turkey hunting to find one lol
nuter2007 That doesn't make for such a long "remote" video. Haha
As a West Virginian, I can confirm. I had to remove a copperhead nest last summer, I have no clue how I haven’t been bitten haha
I live in WV
Snake: Im bout to end this mans whole career
Coyote: Uno Reverse
Mashsmerp
Snake:noooooo. Coyote: aha i won
Uhm ok?

What memes
Coyote loves WV. Thanks for shining a light on the beauty of this state
12:44 that jumping spider was like "finally my Uber is here, guys guys no flash photography" 😂😂
I live right by the Appalachian Trail and I see Copperheads all the time. The scariest thing about them is how still and silent they stay as you go by them. These things don’t flinch
Average human: watching youtube and playing video games
Coyote: let's go find some copperheads
Hold him real still while I bust his head with a rock
When you're in a jeep but "cant" do jeep things
Yea, I would even get out to lock the front hubs for that Little Rock pile lol
What a gorgeous snake! So intimidating!
I got bit by one of these a few years back at 18 years old on my forearm reaching into a brush pile to get my machete I dropped after clearing some brush and let me tell you that hurtttt and the anti venom process wasn’t fun either. Took me 7 months to be able to get my whole range of motion back in my wrist the swelling did some crazy damage. Thank god it wasn’t worse could’ve been real bad if I would’ve gotten bit in a vein or artery.
“It looks like the Jeep could definitely get over this...”
...
“So we have the next four hours ahead of us on foot”
I thought so too, but maybe didn’t translate on camera.
Maybe it's worse IRL but if it's a Rubicon then it probably could have done it
I think he was saying they didn't know what was upahead and they couldn't see anywhere to turn around so they'd have to go by foot
Adds drama .... lol
What happened to the copperheads?
Live in W.V. n have been a long time fan. Saw this when you posted but looked it up again now bc I just avoided stepping on an adult copperhead and it's 1am. Glad I was looking at the ground but are still shook. Also glad you found this one bc your content has always been awesome n made me feel better!! 😸😸
I walked right over one when I was abt 2 years old. God saved my life because I probably wouldn’t be here. my mother didn’t even see it until I already had walked over it.
God doesn't exist.

I saw A Copperhead In Pennsylvania
@@dumbbird7569 i saw one in Georgia
He not in the mountains he in da hills dumbazz
Am West Virginian, can confirm
Had one on my back patio about a month ago and came across it when I took the dogs out back after their dinner.
The stone was gray and it stood out to me, but the dogs didn't notice it until I started to deal with it, then they kept trying to come in for a close look, but I successfully kept them away.
I didn't want to go in to get a grabber, so I used a small rake and broom that was on the patio to grab it and heave it over our fence into the woods behind our house.
It wasn't aggressive and it could easily have struck the dogs as they walked over it to the yard, but it was frozen, it wasn't until I tried to get it with the broom and rake that it moved and then it was to try to flee, though it did strike the broom a couple times.
Very used to garter snakes which are plentiful, but this is the first time I've seen a copperhead in our yard, it took me a moment to realize what it was.
I was hiking in Roanoke County, VA a few years back when I came across a beautiful eastern timber rattler. He was basking on a stepping stone rock, right in the middle of the trail. We took a couple pictures, then walked around him. By the time we came back, he was gone, but it was an awesome encounter
I spent my teen and early adult years in Roanoke Co. Great hiking around there. I'm near Charlottesville these days at the foot of the Blue Ridge and try to get in the mountains as often as possible. Black timber rattlers are pretty easy to spot if you're paying attention. If you're close they will often make their presence known....if not sleeping in the sun.

Of all NA snakes this one gives me the chills. No warning, great camouflage, just ready to bite and you’re done. Beautiful but scary.
Tim really is a back woods blood hound when it comes to dealing with thick snakes! what a stud muffin!!!
Working in the woods of WV, you learn the major sign of copperhead dens: the obvious smell of cucumbers. It’s very strong!
I thought that was an old wives tale.
A little bit like fresh cut grass too
@Todd Lenard really
I live in a heavily copperhead "infested" area and have occasionally smelled cucumbers in my back yard, which adjoins a poorly maintained powerline easement. Usually if I smell that, we start seeing copperheads in the back yard. Usually large adults.
Why that scent,what's that mean?

I live in Northern Virginia and we used to live right by a river and there were all kinds of snakes all over the place.
Over the years, I remember stepping RIGHT over several copperheads at night (thinking they were sticks, but then they moved). Luckily, I was never bit.
I saw the video and was like “this is interesting” and then he said they were in West Virginia and I instantly got excited because nobody ever showcases our state. 😂
Except in Country Roads?
The best part about this is that they aren’t in a zoo they are actually going into nature and finding snakes!
Thanks coyote!
Me: Sees hose in the middle of the night *Screams*
Coyote: Encounters snake
Hehehe
Lol
Well I have seen Peterson get willingly pinched bitten or stung by things I would never allow. And my maternal line of Gallagher and clann Fearghaille in a matriarchy means my mythic bloodline is dominated by common European adders and viviparous lizards. Plus I grew up in Okefenokee and Cade's Cove while not in school in north Georgia. Both places are crawling with horridus, chelydra, bobs and bare.
You're a whiny child. Way to be cool by bragging about it on the internet.

I was just bit by one 4 times on june 23 and i can 100 percent say it was the most extreme pain ive ever endured in my life. I spent 2 days in ICU and 4 days in a regular room. I never seen it. Couldnt imagine how horrific it would be to be bit by a rattler or a cottonmouth because i swore i was going to die from the copperhead bite, and quite frankly it does feel like your going to die. My thoughts on im ok if i see them first was way off. Im not ok with them at all. Ill never wear sandals or flipflops ever again.
I was also bit really bad on my hand(doctors said it was the worst bite they’ve ever seen) but I got mine cleaning out a skimmer at a pool and the snake camouflaged really well and just chomped my hand. I was in icu for three days and yes this was so painful for over a month and it’s been over two months now and I’m still in physical therapy trying to heal this.
@Roshelt same here. I have some days I have severe pain still and some days I'm just fine. I didn't do physical therapy but did go to wound care because of my bites being so deep and having trouble healing. That first month following the bite had me giving up on life for real. Sending hugs and prayers for healing for you.
You should make more of these amazing videos!!!!!!!!!!
I just love the Idea of Rattlesnakes, The way that they make a noise to warn you away. Our snakes in Australia they just Bite you, No real warning just Zap and your off to hospital. Most of the time you never even saw it coming!
I use a 12ga to hunt them !
Most rattlers don’t rattle. They just bite
You Aussies have some wicked biting animals and bugs. That black spider that is aggressive seems like it would be pretty scary. I live in Georgia and have killed a few rattle snakes. They do warn you. One of them was 6 1/2 feet long and had 15 eggs in her, and she was in my backyard. I would like to see Australia.
They smell heavily of cucumbers too. So if you’re out hiking. And you smell cucumbers. Gtfo
Gentleman Snake this needs more likes it’s really useful
Not always cucumbers, sometimes you smell watermelon.
@John Haven't smelled that one yet lol.
Good to know. Next time im out hiking in WV imma smell everything first.
Every child in West Virginia is taught this from a young age. It has helped me on quite a few occasions.
When he realized he may be in the den of a bear, it reminded me of the scene in the second Jurassic park movie when the two T. rex hunters find the Rex nest with the baby rex
I grew up in WV and saw copperheads quite often. In particular, I remember on one on our porch and one on the road. I even went up into the woods by myself. After growing up, I asked my mom why she didn't worry about the snakes biting us. She said she figured we made enough noise to scare them away. Maybe she was right. We never got bit. In fact, I never heard of anyone being bit. Lucky!
Spent my entire life visiting the Catskills in New York. Saw a timber rattler once in 35 years. Very elusive creatures. Heard the rattle of the engine of a Willies Jeep. That's how loud it was. An awesome and unforgettable encounter. Excellent work Coyote!
My family has been going up to Lake Luzurne/Lake George since I was born, we have 2 houses(1 each side of the family uses), and I've never seen one. Never actually seen any snake up there. See more snakes by our real home less than an hr north of the Bronx. But then again, I probably have only spent 1% of my life up by Lake George
They're everywhere in the Shenandoah Nat'l Park area. Steve irwin went there to do his episode. I did AT trail maintenance in SNP and would see them all the time in the summer. Maybe permits weren't allowed for this particular "hunt" though..
I live in E KY and been bitten twice by copperheads. Despite what some people claim they are not aggressive but actually freeze when they sense something approaching and being so well camouflaged often get stepped on (or very close to) and will strike. That's what happened both times to me. Bite is very rarely fatal but will hurt like hell for days even after being treated (and need to be treated fairly quickly). Adult copperheads can regulate how much venom to deliver in a bite as well and will often deliver a 'dry bite' to drive off smaller intruders, had a kitten bitten once who I expected to die, (being so small) but other than the fang marks she developed no injury from the bite, did however develop an intense respect for snakes afterwards.
Love seeing you on tv being bit by stuff man. ❤
I'm allergic to everything so id die forsure. Would a tourniquet slow my death if I get bit? I always have a tourniquet with us in my first aid kit. ❤
Scared of snakes or not, be educated. While there are snake freaks like myself who love all serpents and are in genuine interest with these unique reptiles, there are also those who fear them. From childhood tales to first hand experience. I found that individuals who fear snakes often dont fully understand the creature that they have encountered. In general I feel that locals should get educated on their local venomous snakes, from potency of the snakes venom, what is their habitats, what to do when you encounter one or more. (Obvioulsy never approach a venomous snake in the wild.)
Snakes in general scare me, doesn’t matter what kind. Hell, I freaked out when I saw a baby garder snake
Tigerstorm 6 wow xd
I feel that. I'm pretty ok with snakes though. Spiders however.....
Tigerstorm 6 bro in Bali, I saw a long black snake
Tigerstorm 6 I like the ones that can be pets I don’t like the venomous ones
@Casa De Jarp Not true
I love seeing coverage of wv! Video games, movies, and nature documentaries greatly underrepresent the vast harsh wilderness that is our mountains.
it's awesome the way you respect the creatures.
My mom got bit by a copperhead as a kid in Kentucky. She was on top of a rocky outcropping near Cumberland Falls State Park and it was several hours to a hospital before she was given an antigen. It messed up her heart for the rest of her life. She had issues from that point on and always blamed the snake bite for her health problems.
Finally, a channel that doesn’t clickbait
Lil Hydra 5637 there’s a clickbait video
"Let's use a technique called tubing."
*HUH, I wonder why it's called that?*
Someone is a creative genius.
In PA, I grew up where there were copperheads. My grandmother always said you knew they were around by the cucumber smell
I live in southeastern North Carolina on the water. I've spotted copperheads several times on our property. Yes, they were copperheads. One had gotten tangled up in some netting in our shed with just his head and about a foot of its length protruding. I reached for the netting before I saw him and he tried to strike but didn't have enough of himself exposed to reach me so, close call but no problem other than a need to change underwear.
CopperHead: Ahhh just living the life wait why is the rock opening.
Coyote: here lady’s and gentle men this is a copperhead

I am making a journal on snakes and the copperhead is the one i am on now and this helps me a lot on learning about them and writing it in my journal. I have been watching your videos on snakes to give me ideas on what ones to do next. I am doing it so in case i find one i will know what it is and if it is harmless or not.
Nice Seneca rocks fly over in the beginning! I've hiked upand climbed on those rocks probably 20 growing up. Use to live like 15 mins down the road from them.

My kitten was attacked by *something* outside one day; we still don't know what exactly it was, but we believe it was a copperhead. He had two puncture wounds on the side of his cheek and nearly suffocated after two days. We had scheduled him a vet appointment but abandoned it and got him into emergency care. My mom said that he couldn't eat, drink, and could barely breathe, and that if we had waited for his appointment the next day he would have died during the night. Thankfully, he's fine now, but I'm still wary of copperheads in my area (Monroe, NC)
How's the kitty doing now?
@@hihihihihello Alive, well, fat, and happy. There's little more that a cat can ask for lol
I live in a remote area of WV. Vets are at LEAST an hrs drive and there are no “emergency“ vet clinics etc. we had moved to a house that bordered the woods. Our dog got bitten on a Sunday so we called a vets office knowing they would at least have an answering service. Vet called back and told us to administer 50 mg of Benadryl I believe every 4 hrs, and antibiotics if we had them. We had injectable penicillin since we had cattle. He told us the dosage to administer for a dog. He said he wasn’t bothering for us to come in for “just a copperhead bite” and for antivenin, as dogs usually do well with just the treatment he said, and that antivenin was usually a waste of money!! I was appalled, but he was right! In two days you couldn’t tell she was bitten, and her head had been big as a basketball! That bite was on her lip, and about a month later she got bitten on the back leg! We did the same treatment and she was fine. Two of our other dogs got bitten while we lived there and we used the treatment and they did great too. A lady I know insisted on taking hers to the vet to the tune of about $800. I’ll take the $10 treatment thank you very much lol. Gotta love an honest, country vet!
I live in the Atlanta suburbs and I had a nest of copperheads under the foundation of the house I was renting. They would get in the garage and, true story, I replaced the O2 sensor on a Chevy Avalanche in my driveway and rolled over to get out and there was one staring at me from about 8 inches away. It was about as thick as a redbull can and about 2.5 feet long. No joke. But, they won't bite unless you mess with them, or step on them (a more common occurance). Great video!
Coyote: *has copperhead in hand*
Me, from Oklahoma: OH GOD OH NO WHYWHYWHYWHYWHY
Me when I see a snake:
Ahh Run away!
Coyote: Let me feel your bite
They were using a DJI Mavic Air like I have. It's very durable, and has a stout gimbal. Nice work!
Coyote: Hikes for hours into the wilderness to find timber rattler.
Me: Find them in my barn in Louisiana every year.
Also copperheads, and cottonmouths.
Oh and coral snakes. 😂
