We had another night of rain so I decided to hit up South Mountain before work. I was not disappointed!

My friend from work was out there too so I met up with him shortly after they found their first blacktail. Then right as I was walking up on them they found another one. This thing was so relaxed, it just kept cruising and cruising.

Looks like an excellent day in the field. The size of the rattle on that tiger is a doozy and the top button got busted off.
