A Mississippi hiker captured video of his tense encounter with a huge rattlesnake that gave him a loud warning to back away.
Joseph Hosey posted a video to Facebook showing the eastern diamondback rattlesnake he spotted while walking in the woods of Greene County.

Hosey said he never came closer than 8 feet from the large snake, but the volume of the rattling almost drowns out Hosey's own comments in the video.
"And that is gonna be my sign to call it a day," Hosey wrote on Facebook.
