Mississippi Snake Hunting

If you like Jerry Reed songs sang by Hank, Jr., and a video of crazy people in Mississippi swamps wading in to hand catch water moccasins, watch this.

My brother sent this to me today. I don't know what I like best: the song or the video, or the misspelled credits at the end. Gotta love this.

Can't say that those guys are actually representative Mississippians. Could be from COG with signs following maybe? :lol:

Is there proof that these are the poisonous variety? Of course, I wouldn't be wading in those murky waters anyway. [-(

The following is a link to Mississippi water snakes/moccasins, most which are none poisonous in nature.

At least a couple of them looked like water moccasins which, being in water, makes it likely and further verifies the stupidity of those involved. A moccasin has a nasty, nasty, disposition and is very poisenous.
