Close to four months in and a few years since I saw any kinda snake around. And dad caught this guy in the quail tractor. Welp good thing we're working on the V2 design as is ... Cool seeing one this large too, last rat snake by the house was ...maybe a foot ? Meh is what it is tho .. something is always killing ya critters

Can’t say I blame him. Quail are tasty little morsels!!

Eveyone keeps saying that and Ive yet to have one lol, butchered one while I was at the house but don't get around to actually cooking it

I made a stuffing for them once with diced apricot and raisins in the stuffing. Made a spicy plum chutney and reduced balsalmic glaze for them. I bet I have pictures in my older phone . It’s been a while but I remember they took NO time to roast and only turned up the heat a tad at the end just to get the skin crispy

I think coturnix quail taste better than chicken, if both are cooked with little more than salt and pepper. If using hot sauce, barbecue sauce, other strong sauces, or stronger spices, there's not much difference in flavor.

…. Thought y’all were scared to death of those things

Who you calling y'all?!?!

Dang Wolfie, that is a good one. How far away did you release it?

That one would make a fine belt. I made one out of an egg-eating black rat snake. It was long enough to make a belt big enough for a short 300# man.

Now bite the head off.
