redkneck Posted July 11, 2009 Report Share Posted July 11, 2009 I normally like to let 'em crawl away, but had to whack this 3 1/2 foot canebreak in the front yard this afternoon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

redkneck Posted July 11, 2009 Author Report Share Posted July 11, 2009 you ever had it before? No, and I eat almost ANYTHING. And.....I'm not above eating a snake, it's just....ummmm....errrr... I hadn't had a hankering to do so as of yet! I've skinned quite a few over the years, and looks like some boney white meat. But as long as I still got catfish in the freezer, I got boney white meat already. :eat: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rem308 Posted July 11, 2009 Report Share Posted July 11, 2009 I was in Estill, SC years ago and we killed 3 snakes. The guys we were with cooked 'em, Rattle Snake Stew is what they called it. Of course I tasted it, but it wasn't really great enough to keep eating. They did tell me that they couldn't eat one of them because it itself had been bit by another snake, and therefore may have venom in the meat. To be safe, they threw it out. I liked the skins though.

buckee Posted July 11, 2009 Report Share Posted July 11, 2009 Nice snake. It looks like either it just ate, is pregnant, or just nice and fat. I've never tried snake yet, but I'd be game for it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hunt or be Hunted Posted July 11, 2009 Report Share Posted July 11, 2009 that would not be my cup of tea LOL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wtnhunt Posted July 11, 2009 Report Share Posted July 11, 2009 Seen just a few timber rattlers here, closely resemble your dead snake. Mostly see water mocassins and copperheads. Hard to let a venomous snake go in the yard where your kids play. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

elkoholic Posted July 11, 2009 Report Share Posted July 11, 2009 I have to agree, in the front yard you have to whack 'em. Anywhere else, let 'em go. Rattlesnake, if cooked properly, is pretty good eating. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redkneck Posted July 11, 2009 Author Report Share Posted July 11, 2009 What kind of snake is that? Looks like a rattler of some kind. Timber rattler, sometimes called a canebreak down here. Pretty common, not many eastern diamondbacks in most places here. by the way, why don't you put a flame under that turtles *ss, he's not moving fast enough...

Gator Posted July 11, 2009 Report Share Posted July 11, 2009 Have yet to see a timber rattler, just not any out this way. My dog Pete killed a copperhead last weekend, and a garter snake the other night. Copperhead was in the yard, about 1015 at night. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

redkneck Posted July 13, 2009 Author Report Share Posted July 13, 2009 I helped a guy yesterday down here on the beach drag a cart to the water. He was limping bad. He was from texas and had just got bit this week by a copperhead. I guess they had reservations that couldnt be cancelled, but heck his ankle and foot was turned sideways and swollen real bad. Them Texans are just tough I guess!:flex: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
