2018-03-29 5

A trip to hunt rattlesnakes near the Wichita Mountains in Oklahoma took an unexpected turn for Dennis Crow, Steve Booker and Robert Lutonsky when one of the men suffered a heart attack.

The team had shared footage of catching some rattlesnakes more than six-foot-long on their hunt on Saturday, March 24, when Crow began feeling unwell. Crow writing on Facebook said he began to struggle to breathe while walking down the mountain and was rushed to hospital.

Crow was recovering well after having surgery, according to a Facebook update. The three men were rounding up snakes for the rattlesnake festival in Apache, Oklahoma, to be held in April. Credit: KSNAK Live Coverage via Storyful
