Default My first KILL in Utah!

I was up on the hill grabbing some rocks for a patio/fire pit I'm making in our backyard when I almost stepped on this dude. Surprisingly enough it lunged at me instead of trying to escape. I guess it was cornered or something cause I thought these guys were pretty docile. Anyway it was the first rattler I have ever seen and coming from Western Oregon it was a little bit more exciting than a gardner. Here's some pics from the day.

Thanks man! I was wondering when I would see you on here! The muley hunt preparations are going pretty well. Doin a LOT of scouting. Saw a buck up in a basin about 9,000 ft already and he looked like he had baseball bats comin out of his head. Dude had already forked too and had about 3-4 inches of growth at the end of each fork. Probably gonna be a nice 4 or 5. I'm doin pretty well with my bow and getting in shape for the long hikes in the elevation. Should be an awesome hunt for sure! I'm countin the days!
