I ran into him and we had a disagreement.     He didn't like me tappin on him with the long stick.  :mad:    Well, he's in the shop.     How do I prepare him for my limbs? He is about 5ft and a canebreak rattler.   thanks  <>< del

I'm not sure, but I would ask a taxidermist. Got any pics???  :D

skin him and staple the skin to a board. Let it dry.  With a cane brake, I like to split it down the middle and get both limbs with one snake.

DO NOT USE SALT! let it air dry for a few days.

Thanks guys, I will have pics when I put him on the bow.  I thought about splitting him down the middle of his back and usin him that way.  thanks agin  <>< del

Be sure to remove all the meat with a spoon after tack it to a board before it dries.
