Dozens of likes and comments poured in within minutes, highlighting the beautiful coloration of the snake and how gracefully it blends in with its environment. Davis, who&#8217;s only hat is a baseball hat found in the Salt River during a tubing session and does not benefit from a hatband, noticed something disturbing.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;All these comments are all about how pretty the snake is and not about the real deal, Mike Davis&#8221;, he noted in a telephone interview. &#8220;I have seen 2 rattlesnakes in my 25 years in Arizona so I know my stuff. Women in Phoenix need to know that I&#8217;m a wild outdoors real man that&#8217;s not afraid to needlessly slaughter wild animals for absolutely no reason. They eat that sh*t up.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Though admitting that he&#8217;s never made boots, or even owns any, Davis is confident that his appeal to the hatband community will cause his personal brand to skyrocket in the minds of his community.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I&#8217;m sure I&#8217;m the only person to have ever said &#8216;hatband&#8217; on a rattlesnake picture before. That&#8217;s the kind of wit you can&#8217;t buy in fancy stores in California.&#8221; he said of his ingenuity.<\/p>\n<p>Davis, who ran screaming from the last rattlesnake he saw as it slept under a tree nearly 20 feet away, continued &#8220;These snowflakes who said to buy a hatband at Walmart just don&#8217;t know how to impress my dad, I mean women.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>When asked if he would do it again, Davis advised not to overdo it, and mix it up. Top suggestions for next time include comments relating to &#8220;good eatin&#8221; and various shotgun references.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A local badass named Mike Davis saw a post of a rattlesnake on his Facebook feed Tuesday morning, and sprung into action. &#8220;Looks like a hatband and a pare(sic) of boots&#8221;, commented Davis on the photograph post of a wild Blacktailed Rattlesnake.
