Dean,
You are right.....but skinning a rattler in 99 degree heat and 90% humidity ain't for the faint of heart! The meat spoils as fast as fish...and the smell of hot snake is not a favorite of mine. I catch a few at the ranch for snake training the dogs, and making a point with guests not used to the critters, then we give them to an outfit that milks the venom to produce anti-venom. We eat wild game or fish i catch nine out of ten meals here....and rattler once or twice a year is enough.....usually to impress a client or person that didnt grow up "outside"!
Double Cut wild hog loin chops tonight, with applesauce and wild ramps, asparagus and home grown tomatos........tough duty
