Here's a new receipe for you.











WE GROW 'EM BIG INTEXAS !!!

This snake was recently found at the old Turkey Creek gas plant located just south of the Alibates Turnoff on Highway 136 south of Fritch Texas .
[THAT'S JUST NORTH OF AMARILLO ]


A reminder that these creatures are actually out there and no matter what you believe, sometimes they should get not only prescriptive rights to be there but the full right of way!

9 feet, 1 inch - 97 lbs.

No matter what anybody else tells you, kill the snake before you try to do anything else to it!
It's the safest way for you and the snake doesn't care anymore.

DEEP-FRIED RATTLESNAKE

1 medium-sized rattlesnake (3-4 lbs.), cut into steaks
1/2 cup flour
1/4 cup cornmeal
1/4 cup cracker crumbs
1/2 cup milk
1 egg
1/4 teaspoon garlic powder (not garlic salt)
1 teaspoon salt
dash pepper

Mix dry ingredients. Whisk milk into beaten egg and use to dip snake steaks.
Then coat them with dry ingredients. Fry, uncovered, in 400 degree oil until brown.

Picture? Outta luck. Woodenyaknow, I just did maintenance on my computer and cleaned out a buncha garbage. Gone. Well, it WAS a big humpin' rattlesnake from (where else?) Texas.

Oh well it was a good story.

The longest rattlesnake, officially recorded, was an Eastern Diamondback rattlesnake that was 8 feet, one inch in length. Most rattlesnakes are 2-4 feet.

But heck what is a foot. I have seen a fat 6 footer in an area infested with mesquete and wood rats. No gun no skin.

That picture was posted before but I can not find the thread, and that guy is amazeingly strong to hold a 97 lbs pound snake on a stick in fron of him. It is an old fishermans trick to hold something in front of you the perspective between the fore ground and background makes it apear to be huge.

I think that Don (Its Virgil) posted this previously.

I did. I fell for it. Believed it was true and I apologize, but it is a nice looking snake, but a bit big for making pens. The pattern would be lost when cut into pen size stips.
Do a good turn daily!
