Here's a couple of minutes of video on the rattler I ran into Monday this week. I was out at the Big Lost doing some jig experiments. Just sitting in the truck waiting for dark so I could do some UV prospecting before I went home. The snake just crawled out of the sage about 30' in front of the truck. There was a cold snap due that night, and he obviously felt it, though the temp was 73*. He was heading up the hill to the right, where there are some deeper crevices in the basalt, and lots of big boulders. I couldn't push him off track very far...he was determined to go up the hill. That hill is probably his hibernation den. After a bit of video, and a couple of still shots, I let him go on his way.
