Our hunting club in S. GA is covered up in them. Chaps are a necessity when moving out through the woods or tall grass. Besides Cottonmouths and Copper heads, we've got Cane Brake rattlers (a variety of timber rattler), and Eastern DB's. They can be some nasty mo-fo's if it's hot out. Most of the time we see them in the fall during deer season though. I've recently read that they mate/breed/whatever in the fall, so they tend to be on the move looking for some action.
Recipe wise, we always par-boil ours before cooking. Rest is about the same, except we use buttermilk.
