Rattlesnakes

If you don't want to see a rattlesnake, there's one Missouri place you should probably avoid.

The good news is that Illinois has some great lake options. The bad news is that many of them also require some caution due to some natural residents. The fact is that the Illinois lake with the most venomous snakes also happens to be among the most popular.

If you had to guess what the most rattlesnake-infested area in Missouri was, what would you say? It's more than likely not where you think as it's a place most have never heard of, but it's home to thousands of rattlesnakes.

One of Wisconsin's most beautiful places is also one of the most rattlesnake-infested.

This is not a smell you want to mess with, rather get ready to have conversation with a wildlife, animal, or pest control expert, and fast.

Many people go to the infamous Snake Road in Illinois this time of year on purpose. I'm gonna take a hard pass, but that wasn't a problem for a recent explorer who shared up-close video of the very venomous Cottonmouth snake.

How would you react if you were out for a relaxing hike in Missouri and ahead of you was a huge timber rattlesnake? The response from a just shared video is to grab a phone and start recording video.
