Title: I just killed a Rattle snake!
Post by LadyElaine on Nov 15^th, 2005, 3:57pm

Two things that won't live if they come into my yard or around my house. Spiders and Snakes. I was sitting at my computer looked out the storm door and there on my porch was a rattle snake. I knew he could not get to me but I was still scard.
I put the baby and dogs in the play room, told JD he better not come out till I called him. I ran to the shed. I got the ax. Now you talking about scard. I called my husband told him I was going to go kill the snake I kept him on the phone so if the snake won I could get help.
I open the screen door to the porch. The snake was still were I saw him. I raise my ax and got close enough to hit him. It was a over kill, I kept hitting him. He is in several parts now. I am so scard of snakes. Had my dog or cat seen him they could have been bitten or worst JD. I am shaking all over. Thats the worst part of fall snakes come out. I am headed to the shed and going to get out the snake away. Its time to spred that stuff. I want a ax with a long handle that one made me get closer to the snake than I wanted to.
Do I feel guilty NO!!!

No matter what anybody else tells you, kill the snake before you try to do anything else to it!
It's the safest way for you and the snake doesn't care anymore.

DEEP-FRIED RATTLESNAKE

1 medium-sized rattlesnake (3-4 lbs.), cut into steaks
1/2 cup flour
1/4 cup cornmeal
1/4 cup cracker crumbs
1/2 cup milk
1 egg
1/4 teaspoon garlic powder (not garlic salt)
1 teaspoon salt
dash pepper

Mix dry ingredients. Whisk milk into beaten egg and use to dip snake steaks.
Then coat them with dry ingredients. Fry, uncovered, in 400 degree oil until brown ;;D

97 lbs? Damn!

That little bald guy must have the strength of a mule. He can't weight more than a hundred pounds himself.

Snakes don't bother me toooo much unless they are ones like 'that'........I'd be pretty freaked out knowing they were around cuz of accidentally steppin on one and gettin bit or them comeing around the house......and pets getting bit. We have deadly vehicles out here.......close to the road and seems people like to almost hit you when out front checkin mail or mowing. One clipped Brad's rideing lawnmower. There's jus too many and they go too fast out here in the boonies. And they are fatal if one gets ya. Wish I could find some vehicle away for out front yard Pam ::)

You're sumpin' E. http://www.netsync.net/users/charlies/gifs/pacman.gif

Never killed a rattler but ate some once. Pretty dull but Jonny's right. It's good food. Maybe the recipe he posted would do the trick.

Weird thing, I had a dream last night about killing a rattle snake with my husbands Beretta. (no shit either) I fired multiple times before I got it. I would have been better off with the ax. Good job!

The only axe you need is a 12guage with a cheap target load. To hell with the axe. :o

I would have soooooooooo locked the doors and called someone.. animal control or the police. there's no way I wudda done that Elaine. I'm a sissy ...especially when it comes to snakes.. they make me wanna throw up the way they slither around. If I had kids in the house - and I was alone - i wudda been callin someone. You're too brave, sister. I'm glad you didn't get hurt!

No frikkin WAY would i have gotten that close.

Good way to take out your aggressions tho - with an axe! LOL [smiley=laugh.gif]

Good job, Elaine! I love all of God's creatures, but if they enter my garden or my house, they're as good as dead.

ROTFLMAO Your replys have me LMAO

If I would have had a gun, the snake would be dead and the porch would be in need of repair !
Buddy KEPPT THE RATTLER PART! He said he was happy I didn't chop that part of the snake up.

A porch is easier to repair than a snake bite to the leg ;)

I won't Matiff unless he is my yard or house. Damn he is big. Did you see the special Mel on the discovery channel awhile back about those snakes? They are pets then one day you go to feed them and the next thing you know your heads in their mouth and they are wraped around you. Did you know lots of snake owners are killed by them?
Your the woman with guts Lady!
By the way you look Great in that picture!

I don't think I worry much about the snakes eating me as much as I worry about the cats and dogs at work eating me, LOL.

Of course I look good in that picture, that was 15 years ago, I was 20 years old, LMAO!!
