Re: "Mini-Challenge" 2015
Thanks everyone for replying, and yes im looking to cross a king off my list, though it would be more of a personal goal rather than for my project. Crotalus are my focus, though.
Brian, are atrox really in SD county? I could see it maybe out near Anza.

HUGE thanks to Jeff (surfinherp) for meeting up with me a couple times, and Nate for hooking me up with him. ended up with three lifers this trip; not too bad for the worst drought California has ever had.

It was found in Utah County. And yes, I took care of it. Which I hated, but I guess theres really no other option. I would imagine if there were leopards around, they were obliterated a long time ago, because I saw a few more around too.What Utah county was the bullfrog in? I hope you killed it.
