PAUSE IN RELOADING AND SHOOTING

Pat A.

I just got back from another relaxing trip of camping and gold digging in Yuma Az. Great trip, got 19 Grams of gold this trip, However while moving some large rocks I came literally face to face with a rather large rattlesnake. Jumped back and well I didn't land so gracefully. Broke my wrist, better than a snakebite. I am glad it was still a little cold out so the snake wasn't very active or else he would of got me. I am usually pretty mindful of my surroundings while I am digging, I guess I just let my guard down. So now I will be a left handed Reloader & Shooter for a month of so.

3 weeks ago i walked up on this one sleeping. It woke up when i started walking backwards. I was 2 feet away from it when its tail caught my eye. It was 60 degrees out when this happened. He did not survive the head shot i gave him.
