huntingfool Report post Posted July 19, 2009 Well, I took my brother-in-law out coyote hunting today, trying to help out the deer herd. Anyway no luck, we saw one but it got away. Good day for snakes though. We got three, all with the SP101 loaded with #8 shot. For all you doubters and to those who are curious, snake #8 shot out of a snub nose kills snakes dead in a hurry. Two of the three didn't even flinch, one took about 10 seconds to die, but it just coiled up and writhed around. It didn't try to strike us. They were all shot at about 3 yards. Hope they taste good, their skins are tacked up on a board in the garage, we'll see how that goes. Anyway here's some pics to get us thru the offseason. This is a pic of the first one before he got drilled. He was the biggest, pushing 36" King snake, we let him go. I got no beef with king snakes: Yours truly with a pair of western diamondbacks: The first one skinned with the others + the Sp101: Snake medicine, it's a garaunteed cure: Me and James: Redneck vittles: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

catclaw Report post Posted July 19, 2009 I think rattlesnake tastes terrible- I wouldn't bother unless a survival situation. My buddy stepped within 6" of this one Friday afternoon. Never made a peep. It was right by the barn so we couldn't give him a lucky dog pass. One well placed rock later... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
huntingfool Report post Posted July 19, 2009 Tastes good to me! I battered and baked the first one with a little bacon grease, and it was pretty awesome. Not much on 'em though. I'm making pasta with the other two. The meat tastes good but it is too big of a pain to separate the bones from the meat. I'll be baking them in the future.

huntingfool Report post Posted July 20, 2009 were the snakes together or in 3 differnt areas? No they were all separate, but the last two weren't far from each other but not together. I've heard they are often in pairs, we looked for mates but didn't find any. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
