Skinning and Cooking Copperhead snake
Вставка
- Опубліковано 5 сер 2024
- Hey guys, well the majority of people said they would like to see so, here I clean and cook the Copperhead we got. It was very tasty. We only kill the poisonous snakes that pose a threat to the little ones around here, all other snakes are moved to a different area of our property. Thanks for watching, and God bless.

I was bitten by a copperhead reaching down over some rocks to pick up a bass I had caught ... Picked up the bass and had a 30" copperhead hanging off my wrist ... For all those who think this man is wrong for protecting his children I am 6'3" 240lbs and almost lost my hand I could only imagine what a small child would suffer through if bitten these snakes r dangerous and I commend this man for protecting his family and utilizing the snake as a resource in multiple ways
Sir I don't know if you think this is a strange coincidence but I was bitten as an 8 year old child because my father through a pile of carpet and I decided it was a good idea to run bare foot through it and then a copperhead was very unhappy that I was walking on his turtle eggs that he was eating and got bit on my ankle this was on my birthday mind you so I was very unhappy also the aftermath was me not being able to walk for the entire summer
I had a lot of people give me grief because I killed two rattlesnakes in my backyard one day . I told them my grandkids play back there and I will kill a hundred snakes before one of them bites one of my grandkids.
"We don't kill for sport, we expect if you kill it you eat it that's how it's done around here" I respect that!
"All snakes are edible."
Except the ones in Washington D.C. and Wall Street.
Lmao
They are if you're brave enough
Sure they are, but that kind of poaching is ESPECIALLY frowned upon.
They taste like shit.... because they are so full... of shit !
+Sierra MatchKing , I wander about the mass non-indigenous pythons taking over Florida, can they be eaten? I hope if that is so that he will make a how-to video on the topic. Really, a company making snake skin boots and pocket books should open in south Florida, and give money for any python they come in with, before they kill off all the wild life. The PBS video on the flood of pythons in the Everglades and across Florida stated that they found 160 pythons in a squash garden outside the Everglades. Sounds like there needs to be something done. They are eating small deer, alligators, birds, etc.
I love this man's personality. Real down to earth. Sensitive and sweet. Manly man and hard worker. I bet his friends always love when he goes over
Since no one else seems to have mentioned it yet: When you were slitting the snake open down the belly to remove the skin you should have used a good pair of scissors instead of the knife. It's easier to handle and lets you make a straight cut much easier. Hope that's helpful in the future.
A knife is more badass, in my opinion
I have bad hands and cut all meat with scissors so I was thinking the same thing
You did a good thing. You protected your kids and dogs from possible harm but you didn't waste the snake. You ate it and used it well. People like you are exemplary :)
@Isabella Incontrera he ate the damn thing idiot
@Josh Traffanstedt take you awhile to come up with that response? Wow, impressive
Exactly I dont like when people just kill it and leave it. Good Job. You didnt waste anything great job man.👍🏼😋
I admire this guy just because he seems like a genuine individual and true to himself.
Hank Hill would be proud of you for using Propane. That looked great, man. Great video.
"If you shoot it and you kill it, we expect you to eat it. That's just how it is out here". Fine words, my friend.
I'm a vegan city girl and own two PET snakes, but I am watching this video to find out how to properly skin and eat a snake so I can survive in the wilderness if I need to. Please people don't think we are all so judgmental.
well said!... (thumbs up)
+crissi issy Yea I'll bet. What kind of PET snakes do you have? Black mambas? It figures with some of you vegans. You think everything is to be petted and coddled.
•3•
+armybob50 - been watching Kill Bill a little too much?
Get real, dummy. There's nothing wrong with having any kind of snakes as pets Well, unless you're too much of a sissy to do it.
If we ever end up in some crazy end of the world stuff, guys like this are worth their weight in gold.
WOW, I had eaten rattle snake we had caught in the desert when I was in the Marines, but did not know you could eat copperhead. The county south of me is full of them, many do not go into the woods in the summer because of them. WOW who woulda thought you could eat a copperhead. Thanks for sharing, Lee
Always nice to see someone take something they enjoy and clearly and politely explain it to others. Thank you.
I like this guy. seems like a cool dude to hang with
I agree.
Why all the negative comments? Relocating snakes is a dangerous & wasted event. In these Appalachian mountains Copperheads & Rattlesnakes are plenty & no matter how far you release them, they always find their way back. I'd love to admit that I ate the snakes I've killed but I've never been able to overcome my gag reflex for eating snakes. I admire a person that's decent enough NOT to waste a life. Also, someone commented that snakes lay eggs, some do & some give live b
People are over sensitive about the subject I love snakes and have even kept them as pets but those snakes are venomous and he has youngings and dogs running around..he shouldn't be ashamed of killing a snake if it means taking care of his family.
cupcake6023 I agree.
Throw that dead snake to the hogs. It won't be wasted meat and you didn't have to gag on it ! ha. Me, I just kill 'em and chunk 'em. Now all you sissy snake lovers can bitch bitch bitch ! LOL,.
WH Now that's just provoking "sissy snake loves" people care about this animals just like you would care about dogs. I understand if you kill them for protection of your family no one wants to go head to head with a snake. Killing them for fun is a completely other issue as I said before they are still creatures just like a cat or a dog. So don't tell us we are bitching because we are simply bitchy because we care about our pets maybe we care too much but the argument still stands.
LOL, I knew that would stir someone up : )
I don't kill nothing for fun but any copperhead or rattlesnake I come across had better be moving on or WHACK ! Off goes his head !
Killing a venomous snake could be saving someones life down the road. The rest of them, ehh, let 'em eat rats ! And people that love snake, to each their own. I don't like them but enjoy if that's what floats yer boat . Florida has a bad infestation of child and pet threatening snakes because of snake lovers letting their "pets" loose in the woods. If you get tired of them, at least be responsible about it. To late now , in Florida anyways.
The cat walks over at 14:20 like "Have any of you seen my pet snake? WTF is that smell?"
LMAO!
Jean-Pierre Wehry lol
hahah
The cat in the end, you already know he's plotting something up to no good ^_^ This is cool. I'll remember it if I ever get myself lost out in the wild somehow.
Does anybody else love how deep his voice is. or is just me
I highly respect the "No waste" attitude! Wish all could have the same stance with no sport killing. Great video!
Great video! No nonsense, honest country living. Good heavens we need more people like you in the world.
Snakes are on the move for sure. Killed one in the back yard yesterday that was about 7 foot long. Not sure what kind it was but can't have it here with all the kids running around.
Only kill it to eat. I love that. Killing just for sports is cruel. Killing it to eat is what animals are for. Great video.
This is a statement from american indians,so I respect them very much
Hey stupid, the majority of "tophy" hunters kill for the food, they are just more selective about which animal they kill.
1st BBQ video that I watch with no alcohol involved in it... Respect.
Wow! I never saw anything like this and I not only enjoyed it..but learned a lot too! Can't wait to see more a your stuff!
You could use the babies and fry them and make snake nuggets
@Isabella Incontrera you probably support abortions....
@@chickennuggetinagutter.7864 seriously? lol. its a SNAKE
@@Whatisthematterwithyoupeople huh, I was responding to someone who’s comment was deleted read the full thing before you say something.
@@Whatisthematterwithyoupeople It's still a living animal
As a chef, this was a pretty cool video to watch. I also love that you don't waste a thing! Great values to live by. I've never eaten snake and I certainly wouldn't be oppose to trying it. I'm curious to know what the texture and flavors are. Thanks for the upload!
''we don't waste anything'' love you guys! You remind me my grandfather.If you are not going to eat it?! don't kill it!
Awesome video! Never hunted before, something I want to get into altogether! Never knew you could eat these snakes, but hey, learn something new every day! Thanks for sharing!
Once I saw babies why do I automatically feel bad even though they're deadly babies... Stupid nature
Instinct
"If you shoot it and you kill it, you're expected to eat it. That's just how it is out here." I think that is extremely admirable of you. I think there is only three reasons you should ever kill something: Food, Mercy (euthanasia), and self-defense. You utilized both self-defense and food here.
I don’t know why but this is utterly satisfying... I think the video is awesome! Thanks for sharing
Thanks again for reminding me of my youthful days. I have not had that game yet but got friends and close family (I was traveling for decades) that cooks up small game. I've eaten exotic just not hill grub, yet.
Good video, thanks for teaching us!!!
I love that. Hunting should be exactly what you say. If you hunt it, and kill it then you're expected to eat it.
Look's like a win, win all the way around, nice meal for supper, nice hide for a knife sheath! Thanks for sharing John
That was neat and clean job. Awesome work and responsible person.
Here's my take on the old classic!
On a lovely, sunny morning,
By the path that she chanced to take,
A levelheaded woman
Saw a venomous old snake.
His worn out skin had just been shed and he looked bright and new.
“Good thing,” she said, “I saw you and that I know what to do!”
“Pretty skin,” thought the woman,
“And a fine pelt it will make.
Pretty skin,” thought the woman, “What a break!”
She pulled her little .25 from out its’ leather slot
And sent the snake to Glory with a single, clean headshot.
She rolled him up and took him home, then laid him out all flat,
And saw he had enough skin for a jacket and a hat.
From off the shelf above her head, a knife and pot she took,
The scent of flayed and roasting snake soon filled the breakfast nook.
Pretty skin,” said the woman, “and such tender, juicy flesh,
There’s nothing like home roasted snake,
When it’s all nice and fresh!”
The hat and jacket turned out fine, “They’re beautiful,” she cried!
And jumped astride her Harley for a long and thrilling ride.
She roared off down the highway, in the jacket warm and tight,
She loved the way it glistened as she rode on through the night.
She ran her palm along the scales and whispered, with a grin,
“Don’t show up with your poison if you wish to keep your skin!”
“Pretty skin,” said the woman,
“And a fine pelt it did make.
Pretty skin,” said the woman, “What a break!”
Oh fuck me. When I seen the baby snakes I was like oh fuck that. lol
Haha fuck dat
That was the only thing that annoyed me. I'm no hippy, but when I see a possibly pregnant animal no matter how dangerous, I have it relocated. Because for the meat of one snake he effectively removed 11 from the population.
I did read hear that. That's why I mentioned relocation.
Very cool vid, and also educational. Thanks for sharing your knowledge!
I appreciated you sharing. Your info was spot on. Great technique also. That was some course training for our SF's out here at FT. BRAGG Coppers and Moccs are a dozen for a quarter out here. Good eats my friend!
This guy is awesome
Much respect... Kill something, you gotta eat it. Great vid!
No, you don't always have to eat it.
James Ritchie I just killed a fly. Damn it, now I "gotta eat it".
@@bunnyhug4365 lol
Looks good. Thanks for the tutorial. Very helpful.
What a cool guy :) thanks for making this video, nature advice, cooking advice haha awesome!!
thats one cute cat
our Neighbors kill turtles for what ever reason i respect that you kill to eat and not for sport
agreed
+Samson Paul turtle stew is really good if thats what there doing
+Face Palm Comics Gastric satisfaction sacrosanct but mental satisfaction from slaughter is not?
Only a city slicker who knows nothing whatsoever about nature thins there's anything wrong with killing for sport. Killing for sport is not only a good thing, it saves hundreds of thousand of animals every year. If you hate animals so much you want to see hundreds of thousands die from starvation, disease, and loss of habitat, keep saying you don't respect killing for sport.
James Ritchie they do not do it for sport they do it for fun they just kill stuff
Now that was entertaining and answered a lot of questions in my head. Thanks man!
lol thanks for sharing. I live in az. the next western I catch in my yard.... I will do the same. I will tell you how it went.
In Vietnam we eat king cobra
I read once that some sort of liquor is available in Vietnam that had a small cobra in the bottle, similar to the worm that's sold in some brands of Tequila. Is this true? Does it really add anything to the flavor of the liquor, or is it just a marketing gimmick, like the worms?
Leonard Urban it add a odd sourness to it cuz of the toxin and the bio other than that not mush just people like to have it to show we did not lose our root and still keep the old as we go into the new
it's not for flavor. it's the southern east medicine.
never said it was for flavor it addeds the sourness not like thats what they are going for it just happens
Lam Nguyen Thanks for the explanations, guys!
Better hope the wifey or someone is not gardening and digging by hand.
sweet vid. im gonna try that when i head up to the cottage in the summer. snakes everywhere up there! thanks for the video and tips!
first time i jad a xhance to do this... oklahoma... kids were so fascinated with it but like you did that head went way in the ground... fried and season made it great... great vid
Sad about the babies, but at the same time having those in your yard is a danger to pets and children.
FlamingNinetales77 I had a friend that got bit by a baby copperhead and he almost died. They are wicked!
in a survival situation, is the skin of any use? Thanks for the video.
I have never done it, but I have heard that if you remove the skin without cutting it (like a sock), that you can use it as a canteen type of container.
J
jnull0 Thanks, sounds reasonable!
***** that seems complicated in a survival situation, but the skin could water proof something? somehow? Thanks.
MyYam22 how did he get the meat without ripping the skin to pee in it lmao or as a container
great vid. and i like and appreciate your beliefs regarding harvesting wild creatures for consumption and not thoughtless killing. thank you esp for the safety tips re: the dangers of even dead snakes potentially causing harm...
This is awesome. I'm glad you said that about all snakes are edible. I've wondered. We have some big ones here in Texas. Thanks!
I'm just curious. But if i was lonely in the woods is there any chance that i could cook it up and eat it and then after, get the skin of and make a fleshlight?
Mads Lund resourceful!
Flashlights aren't made out of snake skin, ya know.
They are made of LED lights lit by a circuit.
Unless you have experience on eletronic engineering, and are able to find the materials necessary in the wild (Which I guarantee you won't), you'll never be able to create one.
How it tastes?
like chicken
aktan4ik I didn't know that, thanks.
+John AK72 like fish bro...like fish...*blwaaahhh
This was a great video. Very helpful and full of useful information.
Here is a handy tip for you......many years ago I was a taxidermist.......get a pair of nurse's scissors for cutting off bandages. They have a rounded triangular tip that will slide right under the skin and you can stay right on the centerline......I noticed you subscribed also. Thanks a lot...Happy New Year to you and yours.
those babies got spawn killed
Catfish bait, lol!
propane and propane Accessories
They’ll put Bobby through community college one day.
Looks like a hat band coming off of that snake. I remember the days when we used to take the beer tabs and put them together. How to make a hat band. No days that would be considered tacky. But I think the snakeskin would make a hell of a good hat band. You have a nice day and a better tomorrow. Wow boss you make it look so easy.
I respect that he doesn't waste it and actually cooks it. Even the baby snakes who didn't survive are going to be used for fishing! Most people would just toss em.
..... can you throw it in a blender and cook it like ground beef? That way, the bones would be all mushed up and you could eat it worry free, right?
Yeah, the same way you grind up a rock and turn it to mush. Very delicious.
I'm gonna take that as a no. I know Salmon is like that (soft bones); I guess snakes have harder bones then?
I'm not sure too be completely honest. I'd assume not, because it has a LOT of tiny bones, so they'd probably not get ground up.
Well, I guess there's only one way to settle this discussion... TRY IT =] Although, I can't imagine it's legal for me to just go out hunting venomous snakes....
It's only illegal if you get caught. :)
Hey fat n happy in the hills. You come on den to Texas and we'll take u diamondback rattler hunting and we eat them also so if u ever wanna just let me know. We also arrowhead hunt when we're snake hunting.
I might be persuaded to eat snake, but damn...just how long do you have to cook arrowheads anyway!!???
Foster Yates It's the other white meat!😀
Great snake prep video. Thanks for posting it.
Interesting. Nicely explained. Skinning a snake looks so much easier than skinning anything else. Haven't tried snake yet, but shall do so someday. Thanks for the video.
10:35 i have that same exact plate at my house
Have you tried using scissors for cutting down the belly? Don't have a good knife for this..
Doing some writing research, and this helped tremendously. Thank you!
Pretty nice size copperhead, don't think I ever seen much bigger here in Pa. Thx pretty interesting vid.
Grandma always said you never eat anything that crawls on it belly.
Sorry, there are no poisonous snakes - you can eat any of them. There are, however, venomous snakes. You can bite them, but you shouldn't let them bite you.
+Rebekah Davignon shut up
+Stefani Kaulitz how can he shut up??, he is not talking
+Stefani Kaulitz he/she
motivatedgrammar.wordpress.com/2013/09/23/poisonous-or-venomous/
If you bite it and you die, it's poisonous. If it bites you and you die, it's venomous. Just in case people were still confused.
keep these videos coming man...you have true outdoorsman talent
I really enjoy this guy's videos!
Did it died?
they were already dead but if they werent he probably killed them until it died
It died, it did.

I wonder if you can eat python? now that would be some meat
I did a little bit of research on it and found out that some of them are high in mercury. not sure what the effect are but I don't think I be able to catch a python in my neck of the woods any way.
iwantosavemoney Definitely dont eat anything high in mercury. Can cause anything ranging from brain damage to death
In Philippines they eat giant snakes like python or something like that...
didn't he just say 'ALL SNAKES ARE EDIBLE'? so my magic 8 balls says 'DEFINATELY'
Rheny Baby That's wasn't the point. Yes you can eat snakes, but don't eat anything high in mercury. Mercury is damaging
Very interesting video, enjoyed it, we have a lot of copperheads here in ky. I am going to try it.
Great Video ! I got my first Rattlesnake today ... And had know idea how to prepare it ! Thank You !
As a vegan i still support hunting wild animals. i just don't want to support the cruel meat industry. It doesn't matter how they die. it matters how they live.
Good on you for being respectful 👍hunting is as natural as it gets since it's living off what the land provides
im a hunter and i respect that comment
Then you should also support small farmers. Small farmers tend to treat their animals with respect. It’s typically the big industrial farmers that keep their animals cooped up in over crowded pens. They have lost the respect because their main focus is the money, not the well being of their animals. Some large scale farmers may retains that respect, but not nearly enough.
@@5herpsandadog Respect to the small farmers! Corporate farming is a cruel and unnatural phenomenon. Whenever I can, I like to purchase organic and local produce and meat.
Meat good
What's wrong with ur hands do u have warts
I was thinking of thesame thing
+Gabe Martin they wouldn't know anything about work lol
its probably psoriasis, a skin condition. still, that was rude what you said man.
It's called hard work try it really bruh.
I think your mom just hollered to you that supper is ready and to shut the attic light off when you come down.
I'm the type of guy who will try anything once, but have never tried snake. Always wanted to though.
I'm also very interested in survival techniques, and very much enjoyed the education on skinning and tanning.
Very cool video. Thanks for posting.
I really appreciate that you didn't let this snake go to waste. As I was lokking at the belly I said to myself that snake wadn't full she was pregnant and then sure enough, and as you were dpsulling the guts out I thought man those babies would make great catfish bait and then bam you said it. Great minds think alike I guess. Thank you for the video, I just cleaned my first snake thanks to you.
Wouldn't it be easier to just eat chicken?
It taste like chicken lol
Why not cut the head off first? Just wondering
It's nice to see something suffer. My opinion
I was asking junllo the question ok lol
+msheadhunter why post a public comment then?
+France X Paolo I guess I was hoping that junll would answer my question since this is his channel lol oh well obviously we have different points of views and that's cool. I hope your having a good day, thanks France X :-)
+msheadhunter My guess it that it was easier for him to use the head as an anchor while he skinned the rest of it and prepped it for tanning.
Awesome video. love to see it on the menu wall.
That was so cool to watch. I've never seen a snake skinned and dressed before. Great video!
BWAHAHAHAHAHA!! This is the first time I have seen this! would that have not been better in a stew?
not a copperhead
Michael tucker yes it is its the underside
Very cool that you used everything, including the the babies.
sure miss yer videos..it was nice to run across this one..got to CHs yesterday.. hope all is well..Sunnylandcamper
So u killed it and it's babies for what...? Entertainment?
did you even read the description
You sir are the worlds dumbest and the worlds most deaf person ever. He said he doesnt do that for fun like 4 times
LMAO i just replayed to another dumb ass female on this same video basically saying the same stupid ass shit as your saying. learn to read before you post some idiotic blonde bitch shit
WHAT THE HELL WOULD YOU DO IF A COPPERHEAD WAS IN YOUR GARDEN? You will kill it obviously. YOU SIR/WOMAN ARE THE STUPIDEST PERSON I HAVE MET ON UA-cam!
Azucena Medina Orrrr, you could call animal control? Plus, it's venomous, not poisonous.
Great vid man!! Eaten some snakes before and their pretty tasty, done it just like that! Look like yall got some nice land and a nice home out there!
Subscribed!
God bless!
Excellent video. Thanks for posting.
I really don't know y I see this video, then see all the comments and everyone just arguing and putting their 2 cents in... no need for drama people.. good video by the way bud. Keep making more videos, love the knowledge u have of the country life. Wish I knew all u know.
So cool you even used the babies for something !
Thank you for the video. Very informative.
This is actually a great video. Thanks, jnull0!
You the man, Ill give it a try this summer.
