What's the knife for?

when that snake starts to strike , it has a little twitch just before it launches

when Unca sees that twitch , and the snake lunges , Unca swipes that knife in one swift smooth swipe and decapitates the snake in one motion

if I am not mistaken , this snakes fangs about penetrated Walts jeans and just about bit him before the head was off

or something like that….

I can’t think of a word to describe why a human would challenge a rattlesnake with a pocket knife , unless that word is Unca Walt

Those are also ground spiders that hunt/stalk rather than webs. Had those years ago when I lived next to a large field.

Much larger, hairier and also very fast!

I've been hearing those stories all my life, and take them with a grain of salt, but my uncle worked for a guy that had one in a huge cage - I walked past the cage once and that thing reached out and grabbed hold of my wedding ring with one paw.
I thought I'd never get it to let go...it was amazingly strong for its relative small size (compared to me).
It kept trying to pull my hand toward the cage bars. I know for a fact they can mess up a house if caught inside with no way out. I'll never trust one.

Well I remember back in 1980 my soon to be father in law was a nuisance trapper before it became big and trapped ***** for all the rich folks he did work for .
A good man who till his dying day called me his best son in law.
I could do things
He had a old big **** he caught in a homemade cage ( made of chainlink fence)
That **** ripped and bent that fence more than I could with 2 pair of linemans pliars in the hands of 25 y/o brute.

Well, now makes me rethink the group plane idea .
I have seen " Snakes On Planes" twice and if he is flying I will always wonder

Many years ago living on a farm in Kansas I had two pet racoons. Raised them practically from birth. They even slept with me. One spring they must have found mates and slowly stopped coming to the house...thet were good pets!
