Hey Ryan.....that sounds great! I'm also going to be doing a lot of field herping this spring and summer as well. I'm already doing trips with my local reptile club and since I'm being "contracted" by a publisher friend of mine to photograph all the snakes in PA for his book....I'll be doing a lot of local stuff as well. Also hoping to hit Manitoba this spring for the big gartersnake emergence in Narcisse. We'll have to exchange contact info. at the show this weekend.
Laterz......Roy

LOL...hey, no that's cool. I kind of forgot about that movie, but yeh, know what you're talking about. Actually I know a coulpe really good spots for copperheads and timbers. One spot this past Sept. we saw tons of nice timbers....where it got to the point that as we walked along, we just would say "Oh look another timber" and walk on by it! Also see copperheads there too, but not in such large numbers (but a buddy of mine went there once and found tons of them...think it depends on the time of year.....coppers in the spring and timbers in the fall). There's a spot that's supposed to be loaded with coppers near Hamburg too, but I've only ever seen timbers there...again though, I think it just wasn't the "season" for them at the time.

I think that I saw a juvenile timber in southwestern Illinois while hunting. I looked it up and there was the timber rattler and if I remember correctly the diamondback watersnake.
