I went out with some friends this evening to a local WMA in between Fayetteville and Siloam Springs, AR that I just now found out existed. We were wanting to fish from the bank of the Illinois and then have a little camp fire. After driving out to the middle of nowhere, the fishing wasn't happening. Brush was still to thick to even get to the water. But one guy stepped and straddled a two foot long copperhead. He backed off and I gave it a healthy dose of .22 snake shot. Ended his reign of terror.
Being bored, and adventurous, we ate it. The guy that almost got bit kept the skin. I won't say that the meat was good, but with some kind of seasoning it had potential. Now my curiosity is satisfied.
