Looks like I'll be making a week end trip to Eastern Washington to give it a shot. Any one interested in getting together when the time is right to go after them?
I'd assume you would use like a 357 or a 44 magnum with snake shot to shoot them.
Any advise on methods on hunting them would be appreciated.
Also I assume I'll need a hunting license to go after them. I do have a small game hunting license.

How do you cook them?
Rattlesnake is awesome. Slit them forward from the rectum, pull off the skin and pull out the digestive tract. Slice across to produce bite-sized chunks. Use an egg wash and coat with seasoned flour or batter as you would cod or halibut. Deep fry for about 4 minutes at 350 degrees. The meat should fall off the bone. If not continue cooking for a couple more minutes. Don't overcook or they get really tough. Salt and pepper. Eat with tartar sauce or favorite dipping sauce.
