I say this all the time and I still say it..........I love Dav's field trips the best! Dav is always at his best and in his element (even outside his home state) and I learn the most from him in the field. This spot of MN is so beautiful it makes me want to move there......7 months out of the year though! lol
Being Not super far from there (on the Iowa side) my biggest challenge, I guess you could say, is worrying about ticks. Because when I see long grass like that, my second thought (after "I'll bet there are a bunch of cool snakes in there") is "I'll bet there are a ton of ticks in there." How do you deal with them? Bathe in deep woods off? Soak your socks and boots in some sort of tick repellant? Maybe use Hartz flea and tick treatment on yourself? These are the questions that keep me up at night.
I grew up on the Mississippi in Iowa and the Northerns I've seen were always babies or huge, nearly 5ft big guys. On the water you'd see smaller ones but the big ones would come up on the docks and back on the concrete. Biggest I ever saw was doing that and I wish I could have measured her cuz she seemed longer than claimed max lengths I swear - which the Mississippi would be a logical place to see the biggest I think. Fox snakes used to be down here in Iowa but I have never seen one and they are supposedly a lot harder to find now than in the past. My dream is to find a Blue Racer. Super rare and shy, but beautiful and crazy unique, and it's nuts they are native to the Midwest.
I was just able to photograph a six lined racerunner down here in allamakee county iowa back on may 28th. It may have been the coolest experience of my life... I was lucky enough to spot an adult hunting around some rocks only about 5 feet from us.. and it allowed us to observe it for probably 2 or 3 minutes before making its way back into the grass. So amazing to see your footage of them as well, amazing find 💚
The only venomous snake I know of in Michigan is the Eastern Massasauga Rattlesnake which has me guessing that might have been in MN in the past as well.
Do you pack anything special for a herping trip? A first aid pack, or hook or extra water? Any weather you would not go out in? Special shoes? Satellite phones or equipment? Would be fascinated to see what an experienced herper would do to prepare.
DAV u should totally do a raffle and let a bunch (or few) of us fans go to a herping outing with you. That would be so awesome! P s. U should do a live sometime. Id love to join one n get to ask u some questions
Rattle on Dav! Would love to see some massasagua i live in ny we have small populations but i have regrettably yet to go and search. Ready for some Davs fishing adventues as well.
I can´t help but imagine how the snakes Dav caught tell their buddies later on: "You won´t believe what happened today! I got caught by Dav Kaufman. Yes, THAT Dav Kaufman! You know, the one with the movies and all!"
still using the trashed microphone huh. sounds like its clipping/peaking hard af. lemme crank the compressor up. get a replacement dude. Im def not the only one to mention it. Ive seen others say something as well. anyway still an awesome vid!

Love these videos from MN. Wondering if you're going to bring Bob here in August? And can I be the driver? LOL Girl's gotta dream. Thanks Dav!
August is a really bad time to find rattlesnakes on the bluffs but I may take him herping somewhere else
I'm still available to drive! 😁
Let the girl drive you! Make her dreams come true lol
My guess is that the Eastern Massasaugas have been extirpated. So sad. 😢 That is a gorgeous yellow-phase timber!

I love it have a great day have a nice day
I lived in Minnesota when I was a child. Every summer we caught so many snakes!
Fabulous vid!
Prairie Rattlesnake? We have them here in Iowa supposedly. With the Timbers.
The milk snake is from bhb reptiles in Utica Michigan and the other is a baby yellow rat snake from underground reptiles
Absolutely love your field trip videos in Minnesota educational and entertaining combined real nicely
Real fun video! Thanks for showing us some herping 😀
Gosh, I love herping! It never gets old.
Great herping trip. Eastern Massasauga Rattlesnake. 🐍 🦎

Hello, Dav Kaufman, How are you? I was wondering if you would be attending the Anaheim super Show in July, thank you and have an amazing day!
Massasagu

I’m guessing the one that hasn’t been seen in Minnesota since 1988 was the mussasagga?
Loving the bonus content! It was cool to see the animals native to your state. #TheMoreYouKnow

Massaasuga swamp snake
Rattle on Dav! Would love to see some massasagua i live in ny we have small populations but i have regrettably yet to go and search. Ready for some Davs fishing adventues as well.
The audio is rough again. Dav, did you eat the mic? 😂
Love to see those garter snakes! And wow, the timber rattlesnake is just stunning, holy!
Yeah I fixed the problem but I filmed a series of videos of that bad cable so bear with me. This is the last one I filmed with it
massasauga used to live in minnesota.
Hello from Illinois! Just subscribed, loved the video! My wife and I love snakes, turtles, ect. We just started herping recently!
Keep herping
They have lizards in Minnesota. I never saw a lizard in Chicago. I wonder if you can lizards in Chicago
Yes I'm from chicago I caught snakes an lizards in illinios
I missed out huh 😂😅😂 great herps ..I swear I got a watersnake wit wound same as that one
So you think Minn has more reptiles and amphibians than any other state? Florida is like “hold my beer”
Nope we have minimal snakes lot of turtles
I can´t help but imagine how the snakes Dav caught tell their buddies later on: "You won´t believe what happened today! I got caught by Dav Kaufman. Yes, THAT Dav Kaufman! You know, the one with the movies and all!"
Racerunners - faster than the desert whiptails.
What is the venomous snake that MN lost 😮
Lets link up for some fall herps
Im waiting lizards like tokay gecko is a good one :)
Dav's jokes
Hi dav how are you doing today
It is rarest. I always love seeing garters too. 😊
