Anthony Felder on Snake Catchers

Filed under: Snakehunt Videos — Posted by Jim Smith on May 3, 2008

Anthony Felder has been involved with snake hunt pretty much since it began. Up until a couple of years ago he was the main host of the Old Smokey Show. Anthony retired from the show a couple of years ago although every now and then he does make an appearance. This morning I managed to capture Anthony as he told people about the history of snake catchers or tongs.

Unfortunately there was a lot of background noise so the audio is not wonderful. If I can get more video with better audio I sure will.

  2. Every person in the world should get to go through old smokey with Anthony Felder or Roy Walton. They both can talk it up and get people exited about. In other words they are full of BS. I grew up in Okeene and had the Honer of serving as the President of the JC’s one year back in 78 or 79, was proud to serve and had a great time with the hunt every year that I participated.
