Rattle Snakes

[van7559]

I am in to hunt rattlesnakes, I typically hunt them out in kit carson, and damn are they good eating. I grew up in SC chasing copper heads, mocassins, and eastern diamond backs my whole life. The first year my father n law invited me to go dove hunting out at kit carson, the all the ole timer guys told me if I saw any rattle snakes get'em, and we'll eat them that night, Well it was about 100 degrees out, and with no ice I didn't want the meat to spoil during the corse of the day so good ol me from the south, rounded up 6 of them ranging from 18" -36" and brought them all back alive. Man those guys shit a brick when I dumped a 5 gallon bucket full of live rattlers, and with them being that warm, they acteed like they had just drank red bull. Man I laughed my ass off, I thought cowboys were suppose to be tough, they danced like a bunch of damn girls, when they got turned loose. I am now known as "the dumbass hillbilly from south cakilaki"

If you want to take them alive, poke a few small holes in a five gallon bucket lid use a pole or catcher thing (dont know what they are called) and put them in, you can use a large bag like a feed bag etc and put them in and tie it but I prefer the bucket. You can catch them by hand (I dont reccomend it), I know guys that do. I would kill them in the field then they should be safe to handle by the time you get home.

I have been known to hunt them in NE CO. I usually use a bow, but have been known to use my 308 for the flat lands. And what ever carry pistol I am using for the tall grass.
