Ok, which of you farkers have experience grilling rattlesnakes "on the bone" i.e. not filets? TIA
Here's a link to the last one I cooked.

Did blackened rattler with scallions, bacon wrapped jalapeno stuffed rattler, chickenfried rattler and a caper, lemon butter sauced rattler.
They were all tasty but the caper, lemon butter sauced was my favorite.
Good luck with it Dan and don't forget to tan the hide. :grin:
Looks like a big snake, Jeanie. How long was it?
Thanks, Jeanie! I found our blog post on it. I actually was asking for a friend, but figured if I said, "asking for a friend" in the OP, nobody would believe me.
My friend is doing a special dinner night where he is cooking his way through the book of Genesis. His first dish involves lettuce wrap, snake, and a fig/pomegranate glaze.
Will do, Jeanie. Thanks. So, guess you grow your own rattlesnakes now, too, huh?

Sorry, when I saw the title of the post, I got concerned. The dishes Jeannie made sound fabulous (as always). The Genesis meal sounds intruiguing!
However, I’ve got to share: if anyone DOES happen to end up on the wrong side of a rattlesnakes fangs, please contact the experts at one of the nations 55 poison centers by dialing 800-222-1222. :mrgreen:

Fark that!!!! I’d be running for the hills screaming like a fisher cat in heat!
I hate snakes. I might come back when it’s on the plate to try a bite. But if it’s alive. NOPE!
It wasn't huge, about 48". I left a bit of meat behind while removing the head with my pocket knife. It was just the only way I could separate the body from the head at the time. I suppose the snake would have been 54 or so inches. Still not huge.
Forgot to add.
I'll probably end up making a belt with it.
Rant Engauge...
I am the opposite,there is a big list of things I wont eat because well Im a wussy. Rattle snakes are different for me, I just enjoy the hell out of watching them. Seeing a large Western Diamondback slithering along a trail is just really cool. I have stepped on them barefoot, I have pulled one out of my dogs mouth without even thinking about it. Many times I should have been bitten, (knocking on wood. )
Not shaming in anyway, but seeing the skinned bugger just strikes an odd cord with me. I dont deny someones life just because I dont like something in it, plenty of people feel that way about my life and glass houses and all. And in the grand scheme you said belt which is utilizing the animal and that is always the best use.
OK done
