Especially if you like ribs
So the one big rattle snake (5' eastern diamondback) I've seen in the wild (we have a couple of 8 footers in our zoo) lost an argument with a 9mm 124grn FMJ load.
Nailed to a tree, skinned it, chopped it into 8-9" lengths, soaked in saltwater, put on BBQ grill.
Run a fork between all the ribs for a few mouthfuls of meat. Along the spine - both interior and anterior - you'll get a nice thick strip of meat all the way down. And that is about it. Figure on one 5' snake for 3 folks to eat off, plus side dishes.
White meat, so tastes like chicken. But has the texture of steak. Good stuff.
