It Tastes Like Chicken

Melissa and I were on our way back from a wedding in El Dorado Arkansas when we saw this Timber Rattlesnake. I wanted to make a stop by my deer camp on the way back so I took a detour. We were on Hwy 274 between Hampton and Tinsman when I saw something on the road ahead that looked like a stick. As we zoomed by I saw that it was a snake. I turned around while Melissa grabbed my camera for me. I got out of the car and walked to it. It saw me coming so it coiled up and serenaded us with its rattle. The last picture below was actually taken by Melissa from inside the car just before we drove away. I have never eaten Rattlesnake but I hear it taste like chicken.
