Rattler that I found today!
« on: September 14, 2013, 02:48:24 pm »

Only two vemnomous snakes in Wyoming, prairie rattler and the midget faded rattler.  The midget faded rattler is a subspecies of the prairie rattler and not all that common. 

How did it taste?   ;D

Just be careful who bites whom.  This is one of those situations where it is better to give than receive!

when i hunt them ill probably wear my cowboy boots so that i have some protection. Should i remove the membrane that is on the skin before drying or is it not a super big deal?

Definitely Prairie Rattlesnake.  Dang the shovel marks, but they can be masked by dying the bow back before gluing.
