Snake

[ Sizes: Orig | Large | Med | Small | Thumb ]

April 22, 2012
This guy was coiled up sitting by the trail. I did not even see it. As I walked by, I was suddenly startled by its rattling. By the time I took the camera out, he had begun to move away.

That one...

Voted 10/10

has a hell of a rattle! Usually the buttons break off before they get that long! (Well...at least here in the east.)

Lose the head, keep the rattler, feast on the meat.

	Voted 10/10	Have to confess, never had snake, but had alligator meat. It's a little gamy, but if done right it could taste like chicken. But seriously, if I found myself out there hungry, I wouldn't dream of letting this guy get away.

	Voted 10/10	I had some once--many years ago at a restaurant in Atlanta that served various game meats. Frankly, I don't recall what it tasted like. I didn't hate it.
