Skinning the Rattlesnake

This rattlesnake was found basking on the farmhouse driveway. He was quickly dispatched as rattlers aren't allowed to live near the house. He had a mouse in his stomach. We ate his flesh and liver.

Nailing the Snakeskin

Karen nails the rattlesnake skin to a board to dry. She took the rattle home as a gift for her boyfriend.
