All the years tromping around the driftless area I have never seen a rattler. Would love to stumble across one some time.
I did almost step on one in wyoming.
there's a chance I may get an extra week of vacation around the end of July. I'm in the Colorado draw for a muzzleloader tag that I'm pretty confident I should draw. Since the muzzy season is the middle of September can I plan on elk using the same patterns from July through September?
