HISS in the Hills Round 2!

Official count was 37 baby rattlers (they were everywhere Jordan!), 4 bullsnakes and 4 wandering garters (2 were found mating).

The day could have been better, but at least the scenery was still good.

Couple of bulls we managed to retrieve before they ran down to their dens.

Nice shots Vanan! The babies were everywhere! We had to watch our step, we found more rattlers in an hour than we did all day the last time out. Some of the babies were so hard to see, if they did not move, we walked right past them. More bulls back this time as well. The final fall count this weekend should have high numbers at the dens if the weather cooperates.

Ok the herping is good, the land is pretty....I will give you that but it is my own personal hell. The first two pics sum it up...........were the hell are you supposed to go downhill mountain biking or snowboarding? **shudders....Shivers**

Great pics again Vanan but you hype up the baby rattlers but they aren't in any pics? Love bullsnakes!

For the adventurous, you could try going down the hill Vanan was tanding on to get those shots! Its loaded with cactus.

Can't make it this weekend either, because we have a wedding to go to on the 4th, and I work on the 5th.
