Reminder - Snakes...

[billyjoe42]

Out here in the West, Jake is coming out of his den. Just a reminder; they don't always buzz.
In one season, I had 31 close-encounters with diamondbacks; only 6 of them buzzed! Eyes open, my friends.

Desert prospectors are breaking out their snake gaiters (leggings). Cabela's carries some good ones, which I use, ever since a friend got nailed by a Mojave Green in AZ.

Iv'e seen two already this year, one two weeks ago which seems really early, your rattlers out here are lazy. I grew up with prairie rattlers that always sounded off - the ones out here you have to practically step on.

Good advice. I saw a rattler earlier today, he slithered away from me and I just caught the tail end of him. If you're in rattlesnake country It's probably a good idea to sweep your detector as far in front of you as you can get and always keep your eyes and ears open.
