59 | Rattlesnake Roundups (1 of 3): John Jensen on the Transition to Wildlife Festivals

Dr. Jenkins sits down with John Jensen to talk about rattlesnake
roundups.  They describe what roundups are and how they are
typically structured in the Southeast.  John tells us about
many of the projects he worked on during his time as the state
herpetologist in Georgia.  Chris and John discuss the
history of roundups in the region and about how the snake hunters
collect snakes for the event.  Finally, they go in depth
about the transition of the Claxton Roundup to a Wildlife
Festival including the process, challenges, and how the
transition did not greatly affect the attendees experience at the
event.
