Border Patrol K-9 recovering after being airlifted for rattlesnake bite
LA MESA, Calif. (FOX 5/KUSI) — A U.S. Border Patrol K-9 is in stable condition and under observation after a venomous bite from a rattlesnake nearly ended his watch—until emergency vets in La Mesa stepped in. 'It was a very serious situation,' said San Diego Sector Border Patrol agent Esteffany Solano. New cellphone video shows a dramatic scene as Border Patrol canine Boo was airlifted to Pet Emergency & Specialty Center last Friday. Traffic was brought to a halt as the helicopter landed near Grossmont Boulevard and Jackson Drive. Agents are then seen carrying Boo while running to meet veterinary staff. 'Luckily his handler was able to identify his behavior was acting different. He noticed a rattlesnake,' Solano said. The two-year-old German Shepherd was bit while working in the Otay Mountain Wilderness area. Solana explained the canine has been with the agency for two months and is trained in the detection of narcotics and illegal immigrants. Quickly getting treatment from Dr. Jennifer Willey and her team saved Boo's life. While timing is crucial, Dr. Willey, Medical Director at Pet Emergency & Specialty Center, said, 'you can still give antivenom after 24 hours, it just becomes less effective.' Bruce Ireland relocates snakes back to the wild for a living through his business, The Snake Wranglers. With the warmer months here, he's getting up to 20 calls a day from homeowners all over San Diego County, mostly about rattlesnakes. His service has received double the number of calls this year compared to the same time last year. 'They come above ground and they're looking for a mate, they're looking for food, and they're looking for water,' said Ireland, founder of The Snake Wranglers. If it's a nonvenomous species, such as a Gopher snake, Ireland encourages homeowners to let them stick around, as they are good with rodent mitigation. Ireland advised that keeping dogs on a leash is key while hiking since nature is unpredictable. 'I'd say 50/50 whether they ever rattle or not. Some of them just never choose to rattle,' Ireland said. Snakebites aren't limited to hiking trails. 'We've also noticed a lot of these happen in owner's own backyards,' Dr. Willey said. In extreme cases, treatment for pets can cost tens of thousands of dollars. However, it's that critical care that's helping Boo recover. 'We're hoping to see him back here soon working with us,' Solano said. Experts advise leaving rattlesnakes alone if spotted them in the wild. You can keep them away from your home by getting rid of sources of food, including anything that may attract rodents which snakes feed on. Also, eliminate debris and hiding spots, and install rattlesnake-proof fencing. 'None of the chemicals work. Sprays, powders, tablets. It's all just to get your money,' Ireland said. He also encourages pet owners to look into Rattlesnake Aversion Training. Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc. All rights reserved.

The end to the Minnesota Golden Gophers 2024-25 athletic season is rapidly approaching. The Gopher softball team finishes their season this weekend after being eliminated from contention for the Big Ten Tournament last weekend. The Gopher baseball team has a huge road series in Lincoln this weekend if they want to win their way back into their Big Ten Tournament field. And the Gopher Track and Field Team will compete against some of the nation's best deep in SEC Country. Here is the schedule for the weekend and how you can keep up with all the action. Gopher Softball: Minnesota closes out the regular season with a three-game series against the Michigan Wolverines at Jane Sage Cowles Stadium this weekend. Minnesota went 4-0 last weekend sweeping a pair of non-conference games each from Pitt and North Dakota at home. Unfortunately, the Gophers were officially eliminated from Big Ten Tournament considerations after last weekend's conference action guaranteed that Minnesota would finish lower than 12th place in the conference standings. Advertisement Minnesota heads into the final weekend of the year with an overall record of 19-28 and a 4-15 record in conference play. It's not been a great season for the Gophers, but hopefully they can send their seniors put with at least one more home win. Michigan enters the weekend with a record of 32-18 and a 9-10 Big Ten record. They still have plenty to play for this weekend as while they are guaranteed to be in the Big Ten Tournament field, they would move anywhere between seeds 7-12 depending on this weekend's results. First pitch is scheduled for 6 Pm Friday, 1 PM Saturday and Noon Sunday, and all will be streamed on B1G+. Gopher Baseball: The Gopher baseball team heads to Lincoln for a massive road series against the Nebraska Cornhuskers this weekend. Minnesota fell to a tie for 14th place in the Big Ten after being swept by USC at Siebert Field last weekend. The Top 12 teams advance to play in the Big Ten Tournament, Minnesota has nine games left in the regular season, and all are against teams in the bottom half of the conference. Nebraska is 9-12 in Big Ten play, two games ahead of the 7-14 Gophers. The Cornhuskers are one of four teams tied at 9-12 sitting in spots 10-13 in the Big Ten standings. Michigan State who the Gophers end their season at is also one of the four teams. Advertisement The Gophers split their midweek games this week losing 6-3 to NDSU on Tuesday and defeating St. Thomas 11-0 on Wednesday both at Siebert Field. First pitch is schedule for 6 PM Friday, 2 PM Saturday and 1 PM Sunday and will all stream on B1G+.

LSU's meet is not scheduled to be live streamed but live results will be made available on Advertisement The Gopher men continue their early success and are ranked 6th in the nation in the most recent rankings anchored by their incredble Greek duo of hammer throwers. On Wednesday at the Meet of the UnSaintly held at Hamline University, they both went off yet again. Gopher sophomore Angelos Mantzouranis threw the farthest throw in the nation for a collegian this season and the #3 throw all time by a collegiate athlete . His teammate, 5th year senior Kostas Zaltos was right behind. More from

Texans draft OT Aireontae Ersery: How he fits, pick grade and scouting intel
The Houston Texans selected University of Minnesota offensive tackle Aireontae Ersery with the No. 48 pick in the second round of the 2025 NFL Draft. A second-team All-America selection, first-team All-Big Ten selection and the conference's Rimington-Pace Offensive Lineman of the Year, Ersery started all 12 games in which he played last season. He started each of the final 38 games of his college career at left tackle, including all 13 games in both 2022 and 2023. Ersery ranked No. 37 in Dane Brugler's top 300 big board. Here's what Brugler had to say about him in his annual NFL Draft guide: 'A three-year starter at Minnesota, Ersery locked down the left tackle position in offensive coordinator Greg Harbaugh's zone-heavy scheme. Because he did not play football until his sophomore year of high school, he was raw when he enrolled at Minnesota, but developed into the Big Ten's Rimington-Pace Offensive Lineman of the Year in 2024. Advertisement 'With his NFL-ready build and length, Ersery has a stiff punch to steer rushers wide of the pocket, and he can anchor down when rushers try to attack him down the middle. Though he moves well for a big man, especially as a zone blocker, there are some sloppy elements to his game, and he is stiff when attempting to redirect or recover, especially when his hands are tardy. Overall, Ersery has the size, strength and movement talent to become an NFL starting tackle — if his timing, angles and overall consistency continue to improve with pro coaching. It might be a bumpy ride early as he transitions to the next level.' The Biggest, The Largest 💪 @Aireontae_69 is the first Gopher since 2005 to win the Rimington-Pace Offensive Lineman of the Year!#RTB #SkiUMah #Gophers — Minnesota Football (@GopherFootball) December 3, 2024
