Re: Horridus dispersal?

I believe the gravid females would be sticking around the den areas all summer so if you go to the right spot you still have a chance even if the general population has dispersed.

The first thing I noticed when I got it is the weight and build quality. It was way heavier than my Nikkor an...

Not sure about the commonness of the Pasque Flowers in WI but there's a prairie I know about where they cover the ground. I've seen them in a few other places but never in a huge abundance.

Those are some nice bull snakes and timbers! How common are bull snakes in Wisconsin? They are fairly widespread here (central Kansas).
