That rattle snake is in blue which means he is getting ready to shed . His eyes were blue so he was almost blind which means he probably couldn’t even see you. But when you poked him he wasn’t sure what was poking him and became defensive. He would have given you the warning rattle as you were approaching him otherwise. So happy for you not being bit and fires doing what it does best. As a former firefighter I can tell you fire is used as a tool to create fire breaks and most importantly training. Loved the video!! God bless ❤
Lariebuck4124 that was interesting about the blue eyes. He looked dazed and confused but maybe he made it out.
That rattler got out, you can count on it! Now is the Dog Daze, even Copperheads are shedding too! I was trimming tree limbs in my yard, left the limbs on the ground overnight, next morning I went to pick them up, copperhead was in Dog Daze, eyes covered but mean as a hornet and nearly got me too! Be careful people!
They are actually alot more aggressive when in shed
Exactly what I came here to say. He probably couldn't see you, but he could sense you. Glad you pushed him out
🎯
The drone footage is amazing..and that was scary with the snake. I don't know why but my favorite part of any video is when you guys come home and are going through the water to your house.
Because it’s such a beautiful area .😊
That snake situation should warn you not to do fires by yourself. If something happens then there should be a backup. Please think about it. I know you know what you do, but don't tempt your good fortune. I worked for Forestry for 35 years and bad things do happen. Praying for your safety. ❤🙏
A few years back the wife and I drove up to the old family farm, The old house hadn't been lived in with exception of a week or two during the summer and a week or so at Christmas for family get togethers. The old place had been kept in good shape.
We arrived late after stopping in town for supplies and dinner. We came in did a little cleaning, we both took a bath and went to bed. I was up early, long before the sun, made coffee got the local paper and went to the pot. Set there read the paper, drank my coffee, did my morning.
I was dressed and almost out the door to hunt when the wife went to screaming. I came running thinking she was near death. "There's snakes in the toilet she screamed as I entered the bathroom.
Sure enough three 4 foot long so Rattlers were curled up around the inside of the toilet trying to stay out of the water. With a plunger I pushed them down the toilet flushing as they went.
I had set there 30 minutes reading the paper and drinking coffee. Snakes in the plumbing system, I went out found the septic take top, lifted it to expose a den of Rattlers. I killed a few with bird shoot. The neighbor drove in to see who was in. He a rattle snake catcher took some 130 snakes from the septic tank. Close Call!
Wowed by your story, how did you keep from getting bit?
Omgosh! That's wild, and scary. I'm on a septic system 🥴
Wow, close call I guess!
😱😱😱
What state where you in ? We found frogs in our inside toilet...😂
My dad an I used to burn the hay fields every few years to help the soil. Pa was born in 06 an me in 53 we payed no attention to Smoky bear. The original smokie had been saved from a forest fire an I saw him in the zoo. God bless you and your's 🙏😇🇺🇲🙉🙊🙈👍🖖 Live long an prosper 💕
My uncle worked for the forestry service. When I was a kid, he had me convinced he knew Smokey the Bear personally. Later on, when I was 17 y/o, he told me that he did the outreach wearing the Smokey costume.
I love watching your videos but not with the snakes!!!
Arms Family Homestead, Your videos always make me happy, so I subscribed!
That was one healthy looking rattler.
I always worry about Houston this time of the year when down at the creek.
Y’all have a good one.
As a native American I very much appreciate your support to hold off.i know some people don't care,but to post it on your channel is very appreciated.❤
Ditto
I appreciate holding off till the land is checked for indigenous importance. It was heels long before the Whitehouse and Arlington cemetary... shouldn't it be as important to secure? Ty ty ty Arms family.
Yep
Glad u didn't get bit!! Might not of made it home!!
I am so happy that you didn’t get bit by that rattlesnake and you were holding off doing what you need to do because it may be indigenous land. We have to respect the Indian burial grounds
That drone footage reminds me of “Gods Country” video. Timber rattlers are less aggressive, but they will hurt you bad for sure.
I always love the explanation and education you give us when these projects are done.
We purchased a twenty acre hunting property in central west Texas and I applied for the permits to due some invasive tree and shrub removal and I was informed that I couldn't do anything to help the property because of a couuple of endangered species crap! One was some kind of dang mouse and the other was a dang lizard! Unbelievable that the government is controlling so much of our lives! I was allowed to plant a few feed plots without tillage! Crazy times! We do enjoy the property and our grandson got his first whitetail last season! But we could manage it much better if our government wouldn't interfere!
Oh, that was close...
So glad he was in shedding mode ..
Much love and Be Blessed Arms Family
⚠️‼️⚠️‼️Fun fact! If you look at the rattlesnakes eyes and you see it’s a little foggy looking, that means it’s getting ready to shed its skin. and that’s pretty much for every snake! Love the videos keep it up❤
Wow, that got my heart rate up and I am just watching on TV. God was with you.
I noticed that the snakes eyes were cloudy. He was close to shading. You were very lucky..
From my understanding, if you see 1 there are 3. Timber rattlers travel with 1 male & 2 females, which could be why he went deep into the pile. They like to save their venom from prey so they will try to get away from humans if they can. (Unless they are shedding their skin, then they strike at anything.)
❤😊😮 Ive DJ's voice in my head just screaming DANIEL GET AWAY FROM THE SNAKE,,😂😂😂
Cross timbers bison would love your burn piles when there almost done! Awwww no bulldozer messed up. Much respect though for the lands and not disturbing it. Beautiful land!! You have a beautiful life! ❤❤❤❤
My Dad used to burn the field behind our house every year. We were just little kids & thought the house was going to catch fire. Mum was working inside & we were frantic to get her out. But my Dad knew what he was doing. No damage.
And my Dad loved Cedar trees for our Christmas tree. You need 1 & 1/2 trees to make a good Christmas tree. Drill holes to insert cedar branches. Loved the smell!
Hello Daniel, that was a big, mad ratteler. Be careful
The snake was in blue so was only being defensive AFTER being poked because he couldn’t see.
Upset snake, but so so beautiful. Be careful! Yes snakes that are "blue-eyed" can be a little snappier because they are much more vulnerable.
There was a kid in the town I grew up in that was out playing in his back yard after his dad burned down an old out house. The Fire had gone out and the next day, he dared my younger brother to jump in the ashes. My brother said No but his friend decided to show my brother the fire was out and he jumped in. The fire was still hot and the hole was still there. He sunk into the fire to his calf's. I think the entire town herd him screaming that day. It was months before he was able to come back to school. If I remember right he was 8 or 9 when it happened. He is now 62 years old and I spoke to him about it. He said it's the dumbest thing he has ever done and still carries the scars and pain to this day. Skin graphs for months and then needing to get his toes cut apart after they healed together. Fire is nothing to mess around with even after you think it has gone out, the ground is till hot!
Wow that’s terrible
Hello Ams Family I'm so happy and grateful that there hasn't any new storms coming your way. I would like to know if Jacoby and his family is doing well. God Bless You for all that you and your family was able to do for your city.🙏
I often wonder how many snakes get disturbed when you guys do the burns... Yikes... Good thing your observant. Blessings!!!❤
Looks like you accomplished a lot. I’m surprised you got as much done as you did, considering how wet it was.
OMG Please be careful, that Rattlesnake can be dangerous ‼️‼️ My heart would have jumped and ran crazy.
I'll bet all the seeds you planted are growing like crazy with all the rain you have had.
I’m glad that you heard the rattle before it bit you
Just remember where there's one rattlesnake there's probably about a hundred more
Maybe 20 to thirty in early spring or late fall, otherwise they disperse.
same with ARs
Please tell me you are joking.
Hadn't thought of this is a ton of years. When we were stationed in San Antonio and my late hubby was in early stages of pulmonary disease caused by Agent Orange there was a forest fire north of us that I was told was cedar trees - - Man I tell ya that smoke did in anyone with any degree of lung problem, including hubby. I hope you are careful with the inhalation of this smoke.
been following for years... Daniel, this was a very well presented video of a day in ur life... very well done... yea, snakes can cause BP to rise.... thanks for what you and your family share with the world....
I agree. I once saw a timber rattler laying up on a down tree, stretched about 14 feet long. I promptly did a back pedal in my own footprints, and took an off trail detour, with about a thirty foot radius, to get around the snake. This time keeping one eye on where I was stepping, one eye on that snake!
@@joycebrewer4150this funny since timber rattlers , which cn be big around as. Man’ arm, max out t four and a half feet.
@@kathousel think I should have written six feet. Which according you is too long, too.
He's getting ready to shed, see the gray eyes and dull color, he didn't try to bite because he couldn't see you. I wish some of that rain would head over to my way in Northern AZ.
They really don't need to see. The heat may have also confused him.
@@kathleenredick275 Plus, it looked like a Timber Rattler. Heard they can be slow to strike, but no expert. Saw a video of a guy sitting on a downed log and had no idea a Timber Rattler was at his feet until it moved. If he stepped on it, I'm sure it would have turned out much differently.
When you were lighting them that’s the first thing I thought of. Rattlers and copperheads.
So glad that snake was asleep when you saw him. Whew! God watches over you.
That area is beautiful. I hope the snake 🐍 made it out. The rain ☔ made it hard to burn anymore for the day. Have a great day my friend, and stay safe ❤️🙂⚘️.
Yikes. So, will this be the last time you do this alone and without backup? You might want to consider carrying a .410 revolver with some bird shot, or any kind of firearm with snake shot. Hell, the water snakes in your creek freaked ME out!
Nope. It would have been S&W 640!
I didn't realize that Oklahoma had timber rattlers. He's in shed so he wasn't looking for food. He won't eat while his eyes are blue.
Do you know if there are any natural occurring hybrid rattlers? We have batwings which are Timers and Eastern Diamondback hybrids which do occur naturally in the southeast.
Hey, just FYI. If you wrap stuffed poppers with elk meat, then bacon then smoke, they are delicious. God bless
WOW that was a close one on the rattle snake 🐍 I have a question DO you have to tell your fure department that you're doing that type of 🔥? In case some calls because one thinks a home in the woods is on fire? Just asking. That was a good 🌧 🌦 you just showed
Im glad that you did not try to kill the rattlesnake. People don't realize how useful they really are. The farmers will even tell you not to kill them. Rats get in the corn and can ruin an entire crop. If the snakes are killed, then the crops are ruined.
Always appreciate the drone shots. Shows just how beautiful this country is. Thanks for the video Daniel. 👍👍
I had 5 baby fox in my brush pile so I never butned it
Maybe you could put a snake grabber in your side by side. I put a full slice of bacon around my jalapeño poppers!
I thought you carried a weapon? You should keep one on your side-by-side. You where much kinder to that snake than most people, including me.
Daniel clearly said in the video that he didn't want to kill the snake.
Glad that rattle snake did not strike and bite you
Being about ready to shed his old skin, he couldn't see to aim a bite!
Hey guys and fires with confidence..where's longhorn Lester? That's his jam
Never gets old watching you. Drive through the Creek on your driveway.😂😂😂😅😮 And lunch looked really good
I agree with your assessment of the rattle snake. I'm pretty sure he was getting ready to shed his skin. The piles of brush, primarily cedar, burn hot and fast. Maintaining pastures with cedar is so important. They're a weed tree, dangerous fire spreaders! Thank you for taking us along on your fire starting adventure. I'm so thankful that rattler wasn't able to see and bite your hand. Phew!!!❤
One of your best videos, steward of the land. Many people don't understand it but it is a ncessity. All of the wildlife with return happily. I wish to heck my neighbor did not have his 100 ft cedar that sends its suckers into my yard. I can't garden. The discussion of neighborhood trees and what you can do about it is beyoud you preview. My daugher was bitten by a rattlesnake in Yoseemite. It would be good to educate yourself about the type of rattlesnakes that live in your area. Anyway my daughter did not respond to all of the antivenom she recieved. She was fortunately able to leave the hospital 3 weeks later. You just have to be aware and asume that rattlesanakes are around. Most of the time they don't like you and they slither off.
antivenom ain't cheap
You got lucky there! Good burning days before the storms!
The reason that’ sneak wasn’t move it because he’s shedding😂😂❤❤
Daniel l’ve developed a PHOBIA watching you reach into those bushes and l can barely watch because of thinking that a RATTLESNAKE is gonna jump out and bite you, wow!!! 😟😳🫨😬
That's where Smokey Bear ads were wrong. You even talked about natural balance of fire to the plains; or, even the mountains, which is why the ads were produced
Tips for handling rattlesnakes. #1, if ya don't need to, dont.
#2 in emergencies. Keep a A tine rake. 5gal bucket with lid. In your truck. Good for a lot of things...
Scoop up snake with tines of the rake. Put in bucket. Slap on lid. Keep yer distance. Release (or BBQ) snake in safe place.
Brush piles are perfect rattle snake habitat
It's also in shed, the eyes were blue.
He will come out when he gets warm
He was in blue and waiting to shed thinking he was in a safe place to do so🤔
Crap he's making a lot of rattling! Wow what a difference in that field, glad you guys are OK from the weather! Stay safe from Scotland 🏴
I was stationed in Holy Lock, near Dunoon, on Nuclear Submarines. Very beautiful country and very good beer!
@@RodneyEstes-z1c I live in Bannockburn Stirlingshire not far from Dunoon, yes we do have a beautiful country! If your born in Scotland it runs through your veins 🏴
At my high school, a foreign exchange student from Scotland fell in love with an American..she took him back to Scotland with her where they married & now have 3 children. He’s been there 28 years and hasn’t come back home since. So I believe you when you say it’s in your blood. She wouldn’t leave Scotland & he has never wanted to come back home. It’s been a win-win for them. ❤
“It’s a water moccasin!!” Lester 🤣🤣🤣 Every snake is a water moccasin 🤣 I like to give him a hard time. Bless 🤣 edit… Lester Morrow calls all snakes water moccasins even if it’s a rat snake. I’m just poking fun. I know this is not Lester.
I've never scene a water moccasin with rattles. The one that was previously on the last video was a Rattlesnake ( big one)
Not Lester
🐍😆🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣😅
Wilddaylilirs-- He doesn’t know who he’s watching‼️
That is not Lester
Oh, those meadow pinks are just beautiful! Oklahoma has such lovely wildflowers!
Good decision to burn the brush piles while it's so wet. It's going to look so much better when they are gone. I'm pretty sure the snake found his way out of there.. good thing you saw it before you got too much closer..
Yikes!!! Good evening Dan and all❤
I'm extremely scared of snake's. My best friend and I were cleaning her car out after a trip to the sand dunes in Oklahoma when she was bitten on the ankle by a rattlesnake. We lived over 2 hours from a major hospital. As we waited for first responders to come to her aid I watched as her ankle swelled to the size of a football in a matter of minutes. Since the hospital was so far away they flew her by helicopter to a children's hospital in Kansas City. She spent 2 months in the hospital recovering. She still has nerve damage from the bite. The property sure looks better. Thank You for sharing. Much love from our family to your family 💞
Rattlesnakes are polite enough to warn you. Gotta appreciate that.
Not all of them we got some here in Arizona that doesn't warn you until it bites you
That was a close 1 indeed ..
It got your heart beating, I’d love to see what Dutch or Brandon for eddys family farm would of said or done.
By the time you could talk to Brandon he would have been in the next county🤣🤣🤣!
@@lauriebuck4124I’ve never seen anyone jump at the sight of a snake like Brandon does lol! But hey, I’m terrified too so I can’t talk much 😅
@@lauriebuck4124 haha ain’t that the truth. I laugh every time I see if kids or wife pranking him
@@lauriebuck4124 and with keeping it dutch he would of emptied a clip on it.
If you noticed, that rattlesnake's eyes were very cloudy. That means he's getting ready to shed. That's probably why he climbed up into that ceder pile. To shed, they scrape a section lose, then they perposly crawl through a thicket to catch the lose spot on something, and then they just pull and slither right out of the old skin. They usually won't strike or hunt in this condition, because they literally can't see through those cloudy eye covers. They can sometimes be completely blind when their close to shedding.
He is big leave him alone.😊😊😊😊😊😊😊
Catch, clean and cook...Rattlesnake!!!!
My Daddy was a hunter and lived to fish… one time when he went hunting he brought home frog legs and a huge rattlesnake! That was an unusual dinner!!!
Damn it Daniel once I saw that rattler I thought for sure you would have included a catch, clean and cook rattler segment to this vlog.😃
Fun fact years ago he did do that he got one in the driveway and did the cook and clean right there
I'm sure you would have told your wife DeJay All about this about the rattle snake ✨️ 🐍. But, after she sees how reall vig it was and how close it was in this video,✨️ Sheesh!✨️ Daniel!
DUDE, You won't have to worry about the snake anymore! LOL 🤣🤣🤣
God Bless you man.
Waiting for the government to do things...Lahaina is still a burned out hull, parts of New Orleans still in tatters. I helped after two disastrous floods one in Kansas City and one in Minot. In KC the local churches and neighborhood groups mobilized and flood damage was repaired quickly. We were in Minot a year after the flood with a church group and many families were still in FEMA trailers. I hope Sulphur is not going to wait on the government and neighbors help neighbors to recover. In my experience it is far far better. I hope your burial ground survey doesn't take longer than your grant timelimit.
I see that sneaky snake in the brush. You seen as many as I have, you know what to look for with those Timber Rattlers. It usually takes alot to get them to rattle at you, thats what makes them so dangerous. You get got, and never heard them rattle. Thank god, they got delisted from threatened list in Texas.
❤😊❤ Thank God you didn't get bitten. That is scary!
Love seeing the aerial shots.
Thank you for changing a small portion of the world!!!🙏❤️🙏
Hopefully the snake taught you a lesson for future use .. Never too old to learn. Safety first !
I'm so glad you are okay I would love to have been there I love burning brush
Thanks again for another awesome video I really enjoyed it and as always I'm really looking forward to seeing the next video
Welcome to our British weather! No tornados but lots of clouds and rain, rain, rain! We would like some of your sunshine, please!
Thanks for the awesome video. So glad you didn't get bit. Thanks for the smiles.
Lordy! That got my heart rate up just seeing that rattlesnake... loved the tunes starting around 23:30, very fitting to your channel!!!
Hey Daniel, are you ready to share that wood fired freshly cooked Rattler? Tastes like chicken!
Even blind, that snake would skedaddle when it got hot.
I'm watching and commenting from Quakertown, Pennsylvania, USA.
This country never would have got developed if Native Americans and settlers had to wait on the government
What is the flow rate for your lighter??? That looks interesting! Daniel😎🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
❤
I’m terrified of fires. In 1960, my father was a cropduster pilot. He and a friend would scout the farm for wires. They unfortunately both missed one that ran off into some trees. My dad hadn’t been allowed to use the plane that had the capability to cut those wires. I still don’t understand how…. But anyway, he hit the wire and was witnessed trying to save the field when he came down. The plane caught fire and the fire is what killed him. So, for all these years, fire has terrified me. I was 16 then…
That is a beautiful canebrake “Timber” rattlesnake. We grow some big timber’s here in the Ozark’s.They are not aggressive towards humans they will defend themselves though. The thing about timber rattlesnakes is that they only travel less than half a mile from where they’re originally born so if you have one you have a lot, you just haven’t been seeing them probably. If you have any bluffs, rocks ledges, that’s where they probably den. And just like one of the comments above when their eyes are blue like that they’re almost ready to shed, and they are the most snappy at thattime to they can’t see.
Love seeing y’all’s videos and hope I can meat y’all and see y’all sometime I am Houston’s age and I love yall
Good evening from Syracuse NY brother and everyone else thank you for sharing your adventures and your farm
Good afternoon God bless y'all
In Ridgecrest, California, we had Salt Cedar trees. I remember walking to school. I would walk by them every day. Nothing would grow around them. I lived in the Desert all my life and we had rattle snakes and sidewinders, green mojave rattlesnakes. Very dangerous. ❤❤
Daniel, I am so glad you did NOT BIT by that rattlesnake!! Deadly had been
!!!!
I never saw such a orchestrated and smooth burn before. Very interesting and I enjoyed it very much! My father always burned on the farm in the springtime when it was damp and it rained I notice because when I was 16 we were working on the lower section of the yard where the mulberry tree was and the creek ran nearby perpendicular and daddy was over by the Orchard pruning and cleaning up brush and also somebody hollered at me Vickie watch out you’re in a garter Se area. Well, I wanted my brother to and me the act leaning against the mulberry tree nearby so I could kill it but he would not. So I headed towards the Mulberry tree, and one of my sisters hollered at me and said Vickie, look out you’re in a snakes. I looked down the newest hundreds of snakes, all different sizes Hissing pop up at me. my dad said I had dropped the ax on my foot and cut it off as all he saw, was me jumping in the air and ran to the house. He followed suit, and as luck would have it comment my mother was making homemade noodles and was rolling them out on the table and tossing them in the flower, and I just screamed and cried bloody murder. She couldn’t get a word and twice out of me and by the time daddy got there I was Hysterical. That hysteria lasted for days I wouldn’t sleep in my bed without nightmares. I wouldn’t drive the car for fear of snakes, coming up through the whole by the break, and that was a big inconvenience to my father, because he had to go and drive the kids to practice or schedule appointment Tuesday. I still have some snake nightmares, but I have overcome it for the most part., although I still have occasional nightmares about snakes. I have made my self take my children to the zoo and see snakes in order zoo, books about snakes, or even let them touch them at the fair, but that’s as far as I go. You were very, very lucky Daniel, Daniel and would’ve been tremendous loss to all of us. If OK you had been bitten by that. Rattlesnake.❣️🙏🙏 certainly saying prayers for you tonight Daniel.
Great amazing video! Loved the drone footage too & you even showed us a pretty purple wild flower! God had one of his many guardian Angels watching over you bc he watches over his children, as you know! I am very happy you did not get bit by that rattle snake! That would have frightened the most calm type of person, yikes! Thank you for explaining why elm trees aren't good for the environment (I knew you didn't like them but I did not know the reason why! That is why your videos are very educational & beautiful to watch! Your really good with those controlled burns & many other things around your lovely homestead!! ❤ Love & prayers! Caroline from Orange County, California ❤️🙏❤️
Good call on burning Cedars
Everything is so saturated! Dinner looks delicious. So glad the snake didn’t bite you! So many wonderful things in this video. May Father richly bless you and yours.😊
We miss you CMR!!! Thank you for reminding us to smile and keeping the kindness going.
It’s a bad deal when you have that close of encounter with a rattlesnake or any venomous snake. I had a close call with a copper head. I almost stepped on it in my yard. It scare the hell out of me and I bet that rattle snake scared you to.
You can cut down trees on a leased property? Crazy
Yes, because of the Federal Government Program they have on that land. The purpose is to get rid of the trees that invade and destroy the property.
Depends on how the lease is drawn up. In this case, yes.
The government is paying him,to take out the trees
I think you'll be surprised at how long those piles will take to burn. I once burned off pine tops from logging 40 acres. It burned for 2 months. I would check on it after a 4" rain thinking okay, that's it, and 2 days later a little wisp of smoke would appear. Two days after that it's back to a hot coal furnace again.
I was watching this and starving. It's 11PM and I haven't had dinner yet. Then you show your supper, I could eat a couple of those right now.
It's venom gives no animal or humans a thought. Bye bye Rattlesnake. Blessings 🙏🫶🙏🫶
As cloudy as that snakes' eyes looked, he was probably getting ready to shed. That would have made him more lethargic.
