“Tasting menu”...and I did pass on the rattlesnake. ;-)

You know how some fish has what is termed a "delicate" flavor?

That's how I'd describe rattlesnake. Not a strong flavor at all. Good, though. I hesitate to say that it tastes somewhat like chicken, but it does.

Sounds like a good cause to support, btw. The outdoors are wonderful therapy for children.

I’ve had rattlesnake before, and only passed on it because I consider it a scrawny, bony chicken.

The kids get to turkey hunt from a blind, using a shotgun with the sights specially video connected with a screen, so the guide/mentor can also see their sight picture.

To accommodate their physical disabilities, as for well as safety reasons, the gun is fired via a squeeze-bulb; but both the shooter AND the guide have one, and BOTH must be squeezed simultaneously, or the gun doesn’t fire.

To add to the experience, their parents/guardians are in the blind with them, too.

The whole cost for them to participate, including transportation, meals, and accommodations, are covered by the program. A local rancher donates the use of his property for the hunting.
