Went looking for copperheads, found these...
FlintWalker:
As far as I know, only a few species of snake are protected in KY but not rattleheads and coppertails ;D. Good for me, bad for the snakes. As I said before, I don't normally kill ANY snakes, I just really wanted some skins and knew of a place to possibly get some. I'll admit I didn't expect 9 but I figured i'd get 'em while the getting was good! I imagine I could go back and find more but I think i'll leave plenty for seed. I figure it'll take me a long time to make enough bows worthy of all the skins I have.
BTW, I had a guy bring me two copperheads the other day that he had picked up out of the road. Both in good shape. One skin is 22" the other is 27". He said when it gets cooler, he could get as many as one or two a week along a stretch of road near where he lives. The buzzards and possums better be quick or i'll have them too! My wife thinks i'm crazy.

Hmmm! Never had snake before. How does it taste?

I have heard people say it tastes like........ you guessed it, chicken. Personally I think it tastes like snake. Some people fry it in oil. Some bread it and fry it. Some make it like a stew. If you cook it like chicken, (shake and bake) I would imagine it will taste like chicken or rather shake and bake. The skeleton gives away any secrets. But by taste, I don't think you would ever guess what it is. Justin

Justin, Was that snake and bake? ;D Pat

Just a question about those nice skins. do you just pin them up and let them dry or do you soak them in a preserver first... I have never dryed a snake skin and just want to find out information for when i do get one... Thanks for any information you may provide...
