Pond Boss Forums GENERAL QUESTIONS Wildlife Management A Snake Story, By Todd3138

Illinois has FOID - Firearm owners identification card.

The samples should be sent directly to Sacramento.

After testing, the urine samples will be converted to urea and injected into our diesel engines. The stool samples on the other hand will be processed by our elected officials in Sacramento - they seem to be experts at handling and disseminating excrement.

WOW, I had never heard of this before. I was not aware that another state had more gun regulations than California. FOID and no concealed carry permits? Amazing.

JHAP, yep! I can't go any further or I'd be moderating myself.

Reading this gave me the heebie-jeebies at my office! I had to check under the desk a few times just to be sure.

Yeah, you really should have burned them crispy. I've heard stories that each of the pieces from a dismembered Northern Water Snake, just like horse radish, certain amphibians, and certain worms -- can regenerate into another complete clone of the original -- only far meaner! And, just like salmon, many types of wild fowl, etc., they return to their original place of birth to mate.

I think I'd put up the for sale sign now!

You, sir, are clearly a man of great intellect and sensibility unlike so many of the cretins here!

Ken, just plain mean! Mean, mean, mean!

Yup, this is what happens when one EATS a piece of dismembered Northern Water Snake!

[By the way, how the heck to you dismember a snake?]

He's probably got recipes out the wazoo for this "delicacy," too!

No recipes -- no wazoo.

However there is what is known as a rattle snake roundup in Morefield, about 30 miles from here. The neighborhood "boys" (most of whom you've met) always go. They serve all kinds of wild game, including snakes that were caught the previous summer/fall. I'm sure the boys would be glad to take you.

I've never been to it. Also, they all say the rattlesnake is just filled with tiny bones that make it very difficult to eat.

Ken, I've eaten it once. I had to use a toothpick to get tiny pieces of meat from between the ribs. I certainly didn't see a backstrap or tenderloin.

I completely understand.

I have to self moderate every time I respond to one of Yolk's posts.

Todd I thought you might enjoy this dead snake

I recognize that thing.

In NJ, don't chefs call those things "golyamata grozna zmiya"?

I think the rest of us, including my good neighbor Todd, would just call those darn things by their common name of BUS (Big Ugly Snake).

Toothpicks needed. Ain't no way to fillet one of those critters, unless our good NJ chef/friend Robert knows how to do it!

Cat I've cooked a lot of things but never a snake.

When I kill one there isnt much left to bury let alone cook.I usually use 5 rounds from a 12 gauge fired in rapid fashion to turn them into fertilizer where they lay.

I'd love to be a fly on the wall when Todd watches that video 'till the end.

Todd may no longer be with us.

Actually, I am glad I hadn't taken my fiber pills before seeing the video.

All the dog's in the neighborhood would go crazy

No thanks! I've seen this one before!

Robert, thanks for posting the video. Got a scream from my 12 yo daughter and my 8 yo son threw his popsicle he was holding while watching the video. Just waiting to show it to my 15 yo daughter.

I still jump when I watch it
