That's awesome. I've tried one general area over a few different conditions-(flipping in spring after rains, morning/night cruising-spring,summer and fall, hiking during Monsoon type conditions) just haven't had the "luck" yet. I saw the habitat shot and was like "that's it"...makes me excited to get back up there this year.
Yes, thanks Jeff. We drove around for a few hours, then found one spot with a trickle of water springing from the ground. We searched the area thoroughly and Dave used his skills to locate the pyro. He found a shed skin in the crack first.
This in the Hualapai Mtns.? Awesome record. I've tried several times for pyros in the Hualapais with no luck yet.
