Hunting Rattlesnakes in Arizona

[@1.gatuquan]

I don't even live near AZ, but just thinking about hiking and accidentally stepping on one terrifies me 😬

i’ve stepped on one and it bit my ankle…

Was this by the Lost Dutchman State Park?

My brother just moved south of Tucson. I plan on coming out in April to do some snake hunting. He’s in Sierra Vista. Any tips, tricks or clues on where to search? I’m from Pennsylvania and we have Timber Rattlesnakes here in the mountains but I wouldn’t know where to start looking in the desert.

April will be a good time to get out. Mornings and evenings should work. Walk washes, drive dirt roads and ask around. If you're lucky you might get to see a gila monster

@@KimballCody thanks! I’m excited to see the abundance of desert wildlife. It’ll be my first experience with desert creatures.

A snake is just as scared of you as you are of him
