I met up with Eitan Grundwald last Monday for some Massasasauga hunting in Illinois. Everything went
off with out a hitch; Eitan’s plain arrived on time, we made it to our destination on time, and we had found our first
rattlesnake within about fifteen minutes of hunting. The rest of the day was spent seeking out old barns
and abandoned houses looking for flipable tin. We didn’t end up finding much else the rest of the
day other than a few Eastern Garter Snakes, a Plains Leopard Frog, and some Blanchard’s Cricket Frogs. A
very satisfying day spent in great company.
