Let them eat snake
« on: October 02, 2010, 04:49:54 PM »
Well, was archery elk hunting a few weeks ago and the first day in the Little Naches saw a cow pretty close but she has 2 small calves with her. I sat and watched her for about 30 minutes interact with her young and she and the calves were very vocal. Interesting to watch. I decided not to take her or a calf. Anyway walking out of the canyon I heard buzzing and felt something tapping my ankle and I looked down and saw a rattlesnake trying to tag me. Good thing was wearing high boots and thick fleece pants. ( I guess the good Karma for passing on the elk and her young paid-off) I took a blunt and shot the snake, threw it in my day pack  and took home. Probably should have cut-ooff the head because when i opened up my day pack the snake was still alive and pissed-off :o. Skinned, put it in some olive oil garlic soy sauce  and grilled it up. I first used it as a prank on the wife. :chuckle: :chuckle: Anyway had some fun and some good eats.

Wife took the skin and is going to use it in one her crafts

Some pics...

I didn't either and that is why I did not pay attention to the buzzing. I thought it was a hornet.  I saw three buzz worms up there in one day this year. There was a dead one, almost 3 ft long,  on rd 1702. Was as thick as my arm!! :o

In the Rock Creek area so I was in the E part of the unit. I guess warm weather kept them active this year
