I shot this video back in 2005 while heading out for a day of deer hunting. One of the biggest rattlesnakes I've ever seen. I slowly walked behind him as he was crawling off, and when I would walk around to get a better shot of him, he would look back as if ready to strike. As you can see in the last part of the video, it looks like he has had enough of me. He wasn't harmed, I went on my way and let him be.

Yeah, the video is a little shaky. Seeing these jokers give me a rush!

Cross threading is better than two lock washers.

I'll pass
