Re: New to the Forum! Tips for getting started in herping

March is typically the best month to flip snakes under rocks, at least in my experience. You can road cruise the deserts May and June. I have some herp vids on my channel you might like. A whole “California Snakes” section that is all field herping. LouB747 on YouTube.

Thanks. I use an older DJI Mavic. It still flies great. I shoot everything in 4K, so it keeps pace.

As far as editing software, I primarily use PowerDirector. Probably 99% of the time. Occasionally I use Adobe Premiere to do more complex transition effects.
