Death Valley Run

Here's a link to a website where someone got a pic of me shortly after I caught the rattler:

Yep thats the same method of tanning them that I use except prior to the glycerin I rub them down good with Borax (from Death Valley I believe) it deodorizes the skin and makes the meat easy to scrape off then I rinse it let it dry in into the glycerin it goes. I lived in Az for 15 years and Az is full of them. I seldom killed one, given the chance they will go their own way unlike a Tx cottonmouth now those are some mean ba$tards. AL
