Koyote VS. Rattlesnake.

762 shooter · Sep 1, 2010

No contest. One more reason to have a big knife.
THis guy was out by our trash cans and paid the ultimate price for his choice of real estate. Like they say, location, location, location...

Nothing goes to waste. The boys got a snake physiology lesson, their second for the summer on rattlesnakes. This one was a male. His skin will be tanned and the meat is going in the pot.

Cool stuff. Is that blood on the boys hand? Looks like he wants in on the skinning job.

No those are his "web shooters". He drew them on himself. He is definitely into the tanning of the skins tho'. He is dying to eat the snake meat also.

Check out Wasco wildlife artist supply. They sell tanning kits for reptiles.

That's the spanish dirk modeled one, yeah. Some of them have gone out specifically as boar knives. I've done them from about 7.5 inches in the field dirk dress, out to 15 inches of joy.

That's a nice kill!!!!
