Headed in to hunt this evening and got to where we park the bikes. I rolled mine up around the side of a low hanging mesquite tree and just as I was stopping I heard just 2 rattle sounds. I looked down and dismissed it as just a dead limb in my spoke. As my buddy walks up I'm still kind of looking and about three feet from me I see movement under the mesquite branches. I realize what I heard was an extremely large rattler. I have never seen one in the wild and have considered myself fortunate. I assume after the cooler temps and high wilds it was trying to find some sun. My bike was between the snake and I but it was a close call for me. I'm just guessing but I estimate it to be between 6-7ft.
Point is keep and eye out!

I feel your pain on the bike miles. My hunting spot is 4.8 miles from where I park. 3.4 if that is riding. Rest is walking
