Rattle Snake round-up
« on: February 18, 2013, 07:41:39 AM »
There was some discussion last year on having a rattle snake round up, I have a few places in mind that could incorporate trout fishing out of the same camp, anyone else up for the challenge.

 I've caught a few but just let them go. Definitely a novice but it could be fun. I ate some down in Texas and New Mexico. Just cooked over a campfire but they were good. A little bit of a kitchen touch and some spices could have made them alot better.

Are you rounding em up alive or dead?  Caught quite a few live ones when I was young and dumb, but now I mostly just shoot em, skin em and eat em.

This event, if you want to call it that is in the planning stage, last year we had quite a few folks that said they would be interested in a get together / rattle snake round up, alive or dead don't mater  but I'm eating the ones  I get, I just wanted to get the ball rolling and see what kind of response we get, I have a place in mind that opens to fishing for trout think its March 1st, and in past years during the day when fishing slows down you can take off from camp and get a few rattlers, or if anyone has another place in mind, let me know, or we could wait until later in the summer when the weather warms up.

I think I know the same area as I always run into big snakes when I hike in to fly fish

I think better to wait until May when most snakes are out.

I am in.

Keep the ideas coming, the place I'm thinking about is northeast of there, we have time to narrow down the area we also need a place to put up a camp.

The place I'm thinking about is Burke Lake, fishing is good and there's plenty of country to look for snakes, with  lots of places to camp along the lake
