Buddy killed this rattlesnake yesterday - mounting question

Not quite dead enough

I asked them to freeze it whole and bring it to me. I'm going to thaw it out and skin it then grill it... Well that's the plan. I have never attempted something like this.

Anyone try rattlesnake before?

Ho

Lee

shite!!

That's a giant snake. How long was it? How many rattlers?

His about 6'2

He said 12 rattlers

Skin it, gut it, then steak it out into 1" thick steaks. Fry like fish. You'll be eating what is essentially the backstrap and rib meat. There isn't much on these timber rattlesnakes. An eastern or western diamondback has 2x the meat on it.

I wish people would hold the snake with their hands so I can see the size relative to the person's body.

Refer to my first post.

I'm assuming they were out on his property in Greene County, bama... Prolly just came across it messing around out there

My opinion (which is unpopular on the OB) is that killing a snake in its natural habitat is bad form.

If they are anywhere where children or dogs will be, bye bye snake.
