Here we go again; our first Western Diamondback of the season. He measures in at 43" and has 8 rattles. This one was VERY aggressive and actually began coming towards me when he was around 20' away. As he was on the move I managed to pop him in the side of the head with my Glock 23. Anyway, it turned out to be a nice photo op for two of my fave daily carries.

COOL!

I was going to say something about using your gun instead of your Emersons to dispatch the critter, then I thought, maybe it was better you didn't use the knives. You know, quality control problems and all, that LaGriffe may have had a catastrophic failure, lost its blade in mid thrust, and then where would you be? And you wouldn't be able to rely on that Commander to come to the rescue, WE know ALL about THOSE!

NICE SHOT ERIC!!!

Did you clean it and eat that critter?

They're very tasty. (Don't taste like chicken either).

Then again, I like eating bait so what do I know.

Nice shootin', Tex! Damn - you got him while he was moving, from 20' away... only one shot? Nothing better than a mean snake to put you in a stress situation.

Eric:

I hate those critters! They like to scare the livin be-jesus out of me when they start rattlin!

Now if you are like me I'd have put that sucker on a stick and scared the holy crap out of @Dawl!

Good move! - And Rearic. What do you mean they don't taste like chicken? All the ones I've eaten did. You must have had a bad one!
Add a little Ranch Salad Dressing, and now you've got yourself a meal!
 
Hey Eric,
You just got a snakeskin sheath. Rattlesnake don't taste like chicken, it tastes like spotted owl.

Da proud bastid. I E-mailed him and told him to skin it and cure the skin and epoxy it to a Kydex sheath!

Chicken? Man, squirrels, wabbits, wattlesnakes, they all taste like chicken?

Rearic: . . my gourmet challenged friend. Squirrels, wabbits, and snake are certainly not all in the chicken family!

Listen to HCLeo. Now there's a man that knows! But Dog? I haven't even sent that seeing eye dog to you that I've been threatening! - So how would you know?

Oh, man, I never envisioned that the Emerson Forum would be reduced to sharing recipies. I don't even cook! Where's the moderator when you need him?
