How To SKIN & COOK RATTLESNAKE -Campfire Trail Recipe-

[@BobHansler]

Hey Group, Thought it might be time to show another Rattlesnake Recipe as the Silver Turyle method was the first way I’d ever cooked one. Hopefully the flies don’t detract too much. Hope y’all enjoy this method as well as the area we chose to cook it up. Take care and as always... Until Next Time, Bob Hansler

That is the best description of a snake I've ever heard in my entire life. "Snakes are just a really long rack of ribs"

[@MrTotalAhole]

Hopefully you dont mind me telling a personal story - Got "tagged" by a copperhead back in Virginia, in my back yard. I was trying to bring in my cat for the night, and I should have know something was amiss as she was moving back and forth (side to side). Well she had cornered a copperhead and had riled it up. I never even saw it as I was walking towards the cat and stepped right over and in front of it and got nailed when I bent down to pick up the cat. It got me with only one fang that more or less just went under the skin. There was a sharp pain, and I honestly thought a rat had bit me. When I looked back I realized what it was and I did about a 5 foot leap away. The pain was instant, throbbing but not excruciating. Limped back inside and took off my shoe and sock and took a look at the back of my ankle. As the fang just when under the skin I was able to push/squeeze quite a bit of venom out (was like squeezing a blister). I remember the venom was kind of a golden color, and there was quite a lot soaking the sock also. I imagine it was all its venom, as it must have been afraid the cat was going to kill it and was. Lucky me. Went to the doctor, they took blood elevated my foot and kept me under observation for about four hours. Never gave me anti-venom as it didnt inject enough venom into me, and according to them anti-venom should only be used in dire circumstances. Although they did offer morphine as they said the pain would be intense. Me being manly (I dont even like taking aspirin) I refused. Boy oh boy was that a mistake. After they released me it was about a 40 minute drive back home, and I couldnt keep my foot elevated in a truck cab. So as the blood rushed back into my foot...holy **** did it hurt. Was an excruciating throbbing pain, felt like my foot was going to explode, like it was being over inflated with a bicycle pump. Pain. Pain. Pain. Stayed in bed the whole next day. My foot swelled up pretty good, maybe a little over double its normal size, and the area around the bite turned black. And ohh boy was it so sensitive, even a light breeze blowing on it was intensely painful. I also remember this very vividly- It was hot day and I was sweating between my toes, and it literally felt like I was being burned by acid, thats how pain sensitive my foot was. So I'd have to try and wipe it away, which just fired off the pain nerves. I can say that whole pain experience sucked. But about 30 hours after the bite, my foot went back to normal. Only the bite area stayed black for a few weeks. When I think back, I can only imagine what would have happened had it actually done a hypodermic bite with both fangs and gotten all that venom in me. I think my whole leg would have swollen up to the point where my skin would have split like a cooked sausage, and I dont even want to think what the pain would have been like. I have even a better respect for poisonous reptiles, not afraid of them, just respect. Also now when an animal is acting strange/not like normal, I stop and try and figure out why. I just took it as a positive life experience, which it was. A painful one, but positive. And it does make for a good story. Thanks for letting me share.

[@ShellyAnn1a]

Have been bitten twice by Northern Pacific Rattlers, extremely painful. Sat on the first one when I was 16 and hunting with my Dad, I'll let your imagination go on where it bit me. The second one got me when I was home on leave, stepped over a small log while out fishing, snake was sunning itself and I almost stepped on it. I was about three hours from the nearest hospital. - - - Be Safe.

[@Gojifan-gs6zp]

Holy my eyes are burning I didn’t blink reading that whole thing, any ways great story! I love how you acted calm I can tell you if anyone was bit they’d go crazy crying and praying for there life.

[@paulmood308]

Hyperregression: reminds of a time a neighbor came and got me about a snake on her front porch. I had a python and she thought it was mine, it wasn’t, it was a 36” copperhead. Aggressive sucker too. Tried to bite me several times. I ended up having to kill it unfortunately as it wouldn’t go away. Venom was all over my snake stick, tanned the skin and gave it to a friend. Thanks for sharing your story.

Hi Bob. Good to have you back.! Another idea for cooking a snake : If you have a yogurt with you . Add lemon juice to the yogurt (very little) and a little bit off dill (dry or fresh) and a spoon of lemon spice. Marinate the snake for 2-4 hrs. You can cook it on very hot cast iron skillet with butter onions and garlic or grill it on skewers. either way comes out great.I know sounds fancy for the trail but I have tried it in the past and it's delicious !
