Well I drove 40 minutes to a spot I had been scoping out on google. I came here with the intention of finding Timber Rattlesnakes, and any other herp I could turn up. I searched for about 2.5 hours. Ulster County NY. Although I had a snake hook no venomous/protected species were handled. It was solely for flipping rocks safely.
