Bigtex Posted May 31, 2022 Author Share Posted May 31, 2022 Think I mentioned this before, but here goes again.......after several VERY close calls with rattlesnakes, I did a lot of research on what to do in the field if bitten, since a few times I've been hours from the car and no cell service. After a ton of research, I found some interesting info on a electro-shock method, which only works on hemotoxcin by killing the live enzymes in the venom. If done within 30 minutes, it quickly reverses the symptoms, and stops the necrosis as well. A doctor friend is totally on-board with this, and even sells a self-defense stun-gun amped down to around 16,000 volts for this purpose, works on dogs too. If you do enough research, you'll find some amazing info on this, especially coming from South America as reported by 2 eye doctors who traveled through Amazonia curing eye diseases in the 80's, they witnessed and documented this process several times. Anyone who wants additional info on this just private email me.....stay safe out there! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My first thought was that I'd have a really difficult time switching my impulse from shooting the snake to shooting myself, even if it was just a stun gun. So I did a quick google search........ https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/11434486/ Quote .........We concluded that the use of stun guns or other sources of high voltage, low amperage direct current electric shocks to treat venomous bites and stings is not supported by the literature...........

Bigtex Posted May 31, 2022 Author Share Posted May 31, 2022 The FDA did a ridiculous study, and typical of their misleading BS....they want you to go to a hospital, pay close to 100k, and have part of you body rot away. I read enough to be fairly convinced, but nothing coming from this country other than what you would expect, negative. I'll go to a hospital if bit, but I'm zapping myself too. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iacozizzle Posted June 1, 2022 Share Posted June 1, 2022 https://bigfootforums.com/topic/163-need-help-in-central-texas/page/100/#comments I recalled this concept being discussed, but I forgot it was from this thread. Years ago, but if you scroll down to FarArcher's comments you'll see it. Had to search a few times to find it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bigtex Posted June 1, 2022 Author Share Posted June 1, 2022 Thanks for finding the previous discussion.....I knew it was there somewhere, and needs a revisit for snake season! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Their space in the environment can be taken up by predatory birds (which are all already federally protected), non-venomous snakes, foxes, coyotes, bobcats, etc. They won't go to waste since they can be eaten. Feed them to the hungry. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wiiawiwb Posted June 1, 2022 Share Posted June 1, 2022 (edited) I vote no. I'm always cognizant of their potential presence but they are part of the natural balance of things. You remove one piece from the puzzle and maybe it could have a negatively-cascading effect. Don't get me wrong, I wish I were sasquatching in an area where you could move about without any consideration.

Bigtex Posted June 1, 2022 Author Share Posted June 1, 2022 An old Indian guy I used to hang out with as a kid taught me a lot, always in the woods and real school was in! I asked him about killing poisonous snakes, he said no unless you need the food, bless it first, otherwise it creates bad snake karma....he might be right, I haven't killed any, they haven't tried to kill me, and have had 3 good chances over the years.

Bigtex Posted June 2, 2022 Author Share Posted June 2, 2022 Nice hike yesterday, found a Sotol chew 'snack-on-the-go', as seen on the ground and in hand, notice how the leaves are stuck to it from all the saliva, pretty cool! Also, here's a peanut butter jar lid from 2016, they keep turning up in weird places, this one apparently washed down the creek from another location. And while on the subject of dangerous things you might encounter in the woods, such as the snakes, but by far the most dangerous thing you will do out there IMO is your very next step, lol......a souvenir from yesterday.

Bigtex Posted June 3, 2022 Author Share Posted June 3, 2022 Back to the BF cloaking.....I was watching this YT video, and noticed exactly what I was seeing that day, it starts around the 1:45 mark, upper right and to the left of the larger tree, it wasn't mentioned in the video, the guy obviously didn't see it, how about you guys? This video has some of the craziest vocals I've heard, worth a watch! https://youtu.be/27w5UjC-17o Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bipedalist Posted June 3, 2022 BFF Patron Share Posted June 3, 2022 Will have to watch again, just saw movement artifact and blurring throughout the vid because of his rapid panning. Sounds were like a cross between a bull boar, cow in heat and bear. Why no noise from rooting or walking is heard is rather perplexing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is a small tree in the foreground with its top just to the left of what I think is the tree you are talking about. As the camera moves, it looks like something might be shimmering there a little. But it's the smaller treetop. Or am I missing it? Apologies for my aging eyes.

Catmandoo Posted June 4, 2022 Share Posted June 4, 2022 No conclusions from the poor phone camera images. Camera auto focus and exposure reactions are slow. As far as the audio, my stomach sounds like that after a lot of cold pizza. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bigtex Posted June 6, 2022 Author Share Posted June 6, 2022 LOL Cat.....don't forget the warm beer to go with the cold pizza! As far as the audio, I've been around African lions before, sounded a lot like that, and you have to wonder how many escaped 'pets' are out there, would you report it if your large cat got away, I doubt it. Folks just don't realize how many of these large dangerous cats are in private hands. Here are 2 impressions from the other day, we've had some rain, so the soil was soft, also pictured is a probable Indian Mound, and some type of nest that looked put together.

In Alaska, it's always open season "deleterious exotic" wildlife, so if I see an African lion or tiger on the loose, I'm going to shoot it, and I bet I'll be able to keep it for my wall. In 2006 a 550 lb. Bengal tiger was finally shot by authorities in the Simi Valley area of Los Angeles, just blocks from the Ronald Reagan Presidential Library and an elementary school, after weeks of sighting reports in the area. To this day they have no idea where it came from. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
