I'd prolly go the long pig route b-4 eating coyote, bro.:lmao2:

Oh,man your missing out if you've not at least tried a little Pan fried rattlesnake, now I'm gonna tell you
1) after it's dressed out and cut in about 4" sections let it set in fridge in a saltwater solution, ( I do that with all my birds as that over/ under Ithaca skb peppers them with shot pretty fierce
2) prepare them like you would pan fry chicken legs/ thighs in a white flour coating
3) you don't come across the ones as thick as your forearm much anymore, but even an 18" one WILL ruin your gun dogs sniffer if it get tagged ,but it cooks up fast so keep an eye on it, it's done when the flesh turns bright white so a Sharp blade is needed
4) nearest I can describe it's flavor would be a cross between frog legs and skinless unseasoned chicken white meat.

I very first one I killed was about a 5' and thick ,old enough to vote, I had just told my hunting pard I was going to try it not more than 15 minutes b-4 I damn near stepped on it,,,,anyway I put it in my bird vest and after about 200 yards of bird shooting that s.o.b. came back alive minus it's head and slithered around and up my back, needless to say I damn near crapped my pants,then about every 500 yards it would pull that action again (nothing near as bad as the first time though:lmao:)

Biggest rattler I ever killed was about 6 foot long. I shot it, cut its head off with a machete and through it over my shoulder. Kept on hiking with my dad and my uncle. Stopped to rest about 15 minutes later, threw the snake down, I freaked out when the damn thing started slithering away. Lol, nerves were still firing. Didn't eat that one, but I have eaten rattler before. Damn, that was a long time ago, probably 35 years.

My uncle used to make jerky out of rattlesnake. First time i tried it, he didn't tell me it was snake until after i ate it. Washed it down with a Carta Blanca. I was about 9 or 10 years old. Lol, those were the days brother.
 
Beautiful, sunny day in big D!
Hope you all have a great weekend.
Salud!

Me and my friends used to kill Rattlers all the time at my family cabin.
We used to hunt for them on hot days. They would be soaking up the sun and I would use about 20 pumps on my Crossman air rifle and aim for the head.
We would clean them and pan fry them in butter and they were not bad.
I still have a box with quite a few rattles in it.

Hit the mother lode, a friend of mine does estate sales, she just brought me 2 bottles of 1.75 liter Bonbay Saphire Gin. I remember you guys talking about it. She also brought a couple of small Beefeaters.

It's got to be something of epic proportions to get me out amongst the Saturday nite crowd anymore,,, it's pretty much amateur hour at the bars in my view and a D.U.I. / fist fight/ next ex psycho girlfriend ect. ect. Just aren't as much fun as they used to be,,,,,
