Rattlesnakes in Loveland all ova

[rocktot]

I heard 6 bites up there so far this year. Seem to be coming out of the woodwork. Anyone up there been seeing them on the sides of the roads or whatever? Seem to be in one specific neighborhood.

There all over the place sunning themselves. 2 weeks ago i was getting ready to step back a few while shooting. Decided to turn around and an easy 4tfter was 2 steps behind me. Didn't even call a cold range, selfish fuker he was.

Would this be a good year for hunting up in Pawnee? When is the season again?

If you're afraid (I see you're from Boulder) just carry a bull snake in your purse.

Thanks Wulf. Looks like I missed out this year. Too busy to get it in this time around.

Do you eat them? I have had a couple of rattlesnake appetizers and I liked them.

[UncleDave]

Yeah rattlesnake is good eating. We used to catch them in the hills around Napa where I grew up. But we didn't have any limits that I remember. Are these prairie rattlers or diamondbacks?

I drive over a 1,000 miles a week across CO/WY. In3.5 yrs, I've only seen one snake on the road. They must be more road savvy out here....

I decided THIS year I was finally going to do some rattler hunting (been trying to get 'er done for several years now).

Would love to come up there and try my hand at it (I may or may not have a place down by Trinidad from one of our members to try out too).

For those who've done it before and eaten the meat, how do you clean 'em?
