Is there a good amount of edible meat on those guys? Is it tasty or marginal?

There is meat on a snake about like there is meat on an eel or a fish. Plenty of good meat!

Tastes just like chicken....

Snakes like that don't scare me..... as long as I see them first.

I am in East TN. The rattler was killed in Middle TN in Cheatem County by a homeowner who found it in his yard. He supposedly called TWRA and got permission to kill it since it is a protected species. Rumor has it he tried to kill the ole boy with a LC Smith but failed after numerous attempts.

In his haste he grabbed the wrong gun.... He should have grabbed his Parker!

A snake that big has to have quite a bite. Would snake boots be enough to protect from a bite and would they be tall enough?
