And this is why I will never complain about -20 degree temps and 2 foot of snow again!!A friend in Huffman TX sent me this.....View attachment 832271
My question exactly. Looks like a cover panel has been removed??How did that snake get into the door seal?
Pickled pike is what I said in my case. Not a bait fish, rather a fish that eats bait and bait fish. Though I'd devour herring with no problem. Its the scandavian in me maybe?Mora brand makes some real firm pickled herring. Best commercial brand I've had. I pickle my own (pike) like I said. I'd try anything though. Someone send my up a rattlesnake. See what that sucker tastes likeIf you can eat a pickled bait fish you can eat a snake. Herring is a bait fish here. Scandahovians eat them and smelt also......for breakfast. I'll take mine smoked....for lunch.
These ain't half bad.

Really? I've never had the pleasure of being around them. Are cottonmouths really "smelly?"cottonmouth. Mean, nasty, smelly boogers that wish nothing but evil upon you.
Yep, they have some nasty kind of stink especially after you kill one in the garage with a pellet pistol.Really? I've never had the pleasure of being around them. Are cottonmouths really "smelly?"
View attachment 832464 Indiana Jones also had this to say about them: "I hate snakes, Doc, I hate 'em." I guess flying with them in the cockpit of your plane will evoke that.
Personally, I have no problem with them, although the only venomous snakes I've dealt with have been copperheads, and only one at a time.
We had this bad boy in our backyard last summer, a 5’ black snake. Did a nice job curing the excess chipmunk population, went right down their holes after them.

Edit: Maybe I could do pickled rattlesnake this year if I get enough donors. Seems like a good candidate being boney and all.

That’ll certainly do. I was given a “ducktown double disaster” by a friends father for snake control. We were doing a lot of woodduck hunting and the area was absolutely covered up with cottonmouths. He reloaded .410s and among his favorite projectiles was crushed beer bottles. He said that they would splinter and be nearly harmless if it hit the aluminum boat, but would stay together for snake charming. I never shot those reloads but I carried and used a lot of lead 410s, and I eventually gave the gun away to another hunter who had a copperhead problem. Your options are much more appropriate, although a 45/410 3inch barrel does make a mess of a snake at 6 ft. I can’t recommend taking the shot when a cottonmouth is chewing on your buddies snake boots, pattern spread too quickly, and a 38 would have been a far better choice for an aimed shot.
It's nothing like pickled herring (which I can't find down South). Think very tender chicken texture to the meat. Seasoned like you would crappie.Again, northerner here never ate a frog's leg. Lutefisk, Lefse and pickled herring (pike in my case) but never snake or frog. I guess they just don't grow them big enough up here.
love me some frog legs(from ny here). love pickled herring, can,t wait for the little ice we have to melt because you got me hungry of some fried crappie lol.It's nothing like pickled herring (which I can't find down South).
