Don't l;et them get away. They are great Smoked over Charcoal!!
Also if you skin them, soak in "Skin so Soft" for 24 hours you can get $5 to $15 Dollar a foot for the Skins.

I know you have to do something. We used to skin them and nail the skin to a board. After a few days, they were as hard as fibreglass.
That's all I know.Bob and Susan - 4-19-2010 at 04:57 AM
next one we filet...
then on the bbq...
i wonder if they really "taste like chicken"Skeet/Loreto - 4-19-2010 at 06:18 AM
Again, use Skin So Soft after you scrape the inside of the Skin and if soaked for at least 24 Hours it will not stiffein up.
There is a place located in Farmers Branch Texas that use to give me $5 to 10 Dollars a foot for good ones. Also there are several places in and
around Sweetwater Texas that will give you lots of Info.
Taste and feel is very much like Chicken.
If you need to save the complete Head, then take a glas and "Milk" the Venom from the Fangs . then remove the Fangs by using a small pair of
Sidecutters to snip as close to the upper head bone as possible.
Out North of Loreto toward "Doctor;s Point" you cann fing lots of good Rattlers expecially in the Arroys leading into the Water. Look around any
Debris up aganist a standing Bush.
Good Luck.

Or better yet just leave them alone.bajabass - 4-19-2010 at 06:43 AM
It is not the ones you find that are the problem. It's the one you don't find that finds you!!astrobaja - 4-19-2010 at 07:27 AM
I agree with Mono, leave em be. They fulfill useful functions such as catching rodents!TMW - 4-19-2010 at 07:34 AM
The last time I had rattlesnake I paid $20 lb in Ramona, CA. It came from Sweetwater, TX. Not enough meat for the price. As I remember there are three
rope like meat sections down the back side. The meat is good, somewhat like chicken but too many bones to get enough for a good meal.monoloco - 4-19-2010 at 07:37 AM
If you encounter rattlesnakes too close to your house for comfort it is very easy to relocate them to a more remote area. Just take a plastic garbage
can and lay it on it's side next to the snake and use a stick to push the snake into it, tip it up, put the lid on, and take the snake away. Over the
years I have relocated many in this way.Pompano - 4-19-2010 at 07:42 AM
They were always a treat on our camping experieces in the Dakota Badlands.

Now...road kill rattle snakes can also be dried and ground up into a powder we sprinkle on dinner...it gives you superhuman...er supersnake like
power...better than gatorade! honest.BajaGringo - 4-19-2010 at 04:35 PM
Since we have moved out here to the beach full time, we see snakes less and less. Having three dogs around is probably as good a deterrent as the
garlic method some of the locals use. When I do find one nearby we use the trashcan method and then relocate it back several hundred yards. Once a
good spot is found I just tip it over and wish it well. The first few times were a bit nerve racking but once I got comfortable with the technique it
has gotten easier each time.
garlic????????????

Please explain. My three dogs get the rattlesnake vaccine. Would love to find a snake deterrent.
