Wife showed me those on facebook last night. Very important people realize in az these critters hang out around dens in winter months also sunning themselves on rocks.. so when climbing for good glassing point watch yourself! Bowhunter4life and i few maybe 6-\ yrs back were sitting on rockpile glassing pigs when hour or ao later below our butts in crack of rocks suddenly a rattler was buzzing from his wintering spot.. these faces describe my emotions over following 2 seconds..😮😖😤 Ok actually we laughed but also moved. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

PelaPapas Report post Posted October 26, 2015 Scary stuff in those pics! I seen one crossing the road in front of me again this past weekend. It doesn't matter how far they are from me. If I see one, that's all I can think about for a good portion of the day. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
