We have a bunch of rattlesnakes along the Missouri river/Lake Oahe. I've met people who have hunted them there, and say they taste great. The problem I've had is I can't seem to catch the things. Normally you don't see them, they only seem to come out in the evening. Every time I find one they quickly turn and try to get away. The Missouri river bank is nothing but cracked mud with a million places for them to hide. The time of year snakes are out is also the busiest fishing time, so there's no reasonable way to shoot them. I can't seem to get within stick range. Maybe one day.
