Texas in the Spring
Dinner is served!
$13 a pound ? Wow.
Now... if we could only get the meth heads to go after copperheads instead of copper.
I’ll bet they were all registered Democrats. Why not, those politicians in DC are rattlesnakes, Demo-Rats, and sleazy sidewinders.
Now for the lawyers.
As Alton Brown would say, “Good eats!”
This is a popular topic this evening.

Wow, so *that’s* why White House tours were shut down.
30,000 in the Everglades would put a nice dent in the python problem.
I thought this was a joke about Congress.
Could they be dropped on the WH grounds?
I’m wondering if Texas is the rattlesnake capital of the world. The wife and I stopped at a nice wayside near Amarillo a few years ago, and there was a sign next to the facilities warning about rattlesnakes.
Snake Verde
Snake Chile Colorado
Snake adobado
Snake Tacos
Can’t name the next item on the menu lest I be zot’d....
That works out to about 21,000 lbs of rodents allowed to live and breed over the course of a year - if you ever needed evidence that people are really really stupid, here you have it.
First couple of days I was assigned to Goodfellow AFB in San Angelo, TX, I decided to take a walk out the front gate towards civilization (that was a mistake). Not long into my walk I crossed a small bridge and came across a smooshed rattler along the roadway that was a good 10ft long or so and at least 4 or 5 inches wide. Yes, he was smashed, but still it was a huge freaking snake.
This is a awesome event. I think there’s one in Brownsville, too.
I used to go out with these guys back in the late ‘70s/early ‘80s.
It’s a lot of fun.
