The early fall hunting season is a time of warm days and cool nights, perfect for scaly creatures that crawl and rattle through the autumn deer woods.

Fortunately, rattlesnakes — which definitely fits the above description — aren’t aggressive. But they are dangerous and may be an endangered species in your state, making them illegal to kill.

This bowhunter knew exactly what to do with this huge rattler and you’ll see the entire encounter, right down to the end. Not even a twitch. Not sure if it “tasted like chicken,” but that’s one snake that won’t threaten the hunter in the future.
