got in trouble last week for posting a pic of a dead gator we were skinning out to eat and tan, 11 footer. I had forgotten that Cannafan or MS. B had said remember no dead animals.
So before I took the first step in preparing this one for dinner tonight I took a shot of him live which hopefully won't get me banned. This is a a Canebrake rattler, must have just shedded, the prettiest rattle snake I've ever seen, and I've seen a many, my Dad and a friend used to make me hold the croaker sack when they would flush them out of gopher holes in the winter when I was a youngun' they caught 'em live and took them to a couple of large rattlesnake Rodeos every year. Quite the site to have a pen full of live rattle snakes in your garage. They are fine eating! I'm worrying a bit about my Dixie Dawg as they seem to be moving pretty good round here lately, especially the moccasins.
