    Always Carry, You never know

    Went to move a friends travel trailer today and found this sucker hiding under the hitch. Glad I had the PM9 with me. I hate snakes. Hit him 3 outa 5 times with 147gr HST at about 7 yards. I need to practice, but he won't scare the crap out of anyone again.

      Haha, for my friend. He took him home to eat. Not a fan of eating snakes, even tho they taste like chicken.

        That's what I've always heard. I killed a big one in college... around 1970 or so, and skinned it. The meat looked great, but I was only interested in the skin, which I gave to someone.

        If I did that these days, I would definitely chop the head off and dispose of it properly and then have that sucker for dinner.

        I've been watching a lot of that "Naked and Afraid" show on cable TV. They eat snakes a lot.

          Taste like chicken? I had a neighbor in Colorado that caught a rattle snake. We baked it in his wife's oven (she wasn't home), and it stunk real bad, and tasted just as bad, nothing like chicken. Guess we did it wrong.

            Dang. If you gutted it and got rid of the anal parts without contamination, I don't know why it would stink. I would have pan fried it, or grilled it.

            But, I haven't tried it.

                I've been watching that show a lot recently... good for laughs most of the time. Just saw one with a Wiccan... named Sabrina! She was a hoot. While the guy was doing real stuff for their survival she collected vines and boughs and busied herself with making Wiccan decorations... hoop with pentagram inside! The guy was a little steamed and she was pissed that he thought she should be more productive with survival stuff!

                  Well, just one more post before I run to the local convenience store for lottery tickets. I always gear up with knife, extra mag, phone, and a light if dark out.

                  This is my 10K post and maybe it will give me some luck!

                      I don't think I'll win that much.

                      We've been saying for years, if it was a big'un, we'd just disappear.

                        Yep. If I won a big one, we'd be way out in the middle of nowhere at least 4 hours from any big city. Not hard to do in Texas.

                          Well played Tprepper! You can see those HSTs took some chunks out of him.

                          I had a near similar situation recently with a possum that took a turn toward me in my backyard when I was carrying a Beretta PX4 with 147gr HSTs. Instead though, my teenage son peppered him with a full auto airsoft AK74 and convinced him to leave. I'm glad I didn't need to draw. All's well.

                              That's what I've been thinking about. if we had the money, we'd already be back in Texas. OOPS! Giving away too much info!
