    One of these times when you guys kill one, you should send me the head!

    If you ever really get moved down to Trinidad, you'll be able to find some on your own. They are here just waiting for your arrival.

    I don't know much about rattle snakes other than 1) How to ID them and 2) Get the f*** away when I do but...I have a comment and an observation.

    As a youngster on the eastern edges of the Springs in the late 60's and into the 70's I used to find rattlers and bull snakes way more often than I liked. Housing developments (the non-stop construction) seemed to "stir em' up."

    But...strange...at least for me...is seeing snakes "up high," never seemed too in years past (at least I didn't although I always heard the stories). I have seen 4 snakes in the last 3 days, all above ~8K' (little dudes) and the kicker, I was just out diggin' some brush this morning and what I think was a gartner snake, maybe 18"ish or so, came cruising by. It stopped to check me out...and I just stood there thinking "huh...I'm at ~9250' and here's a friggin' snake...couldn't believe it!" I would never have guessed I'd see a snake at this elevation. It's almost 80 degrees up here today and the sun feels like a monster laser searing into your body...maybe the "ultra hot day" has something to do with bringing em' out.

    I just shot one this past weekend. I've been wanting to make a belt or something but he was too small. Oh well, maybe the vultures or other scavengers will get to him.
