I live in New Mexico. We also go to the desert and find prehistoric shark teeth.

They actual have a tarantula migration of a kind in La Junta CO that is pretty freaky.

You need to be very careful out there. We at times will see a ton of rattle snakes as well.

When i was a kid we were going through New Mexico coming back from California and there were hundreds of tarantulas crossing the road at night. It was freaky as shit and they were huge.

My Grandfather hunted Rattlesnakes in west Texas. He had cages full of the mean fkers. He sold them to an Indian that milked them for money.

I handle a lot of them as long as you don't move fast they keep pretty calm.

we are about 100 miles from La Junta and have seen lots of tarantulas but not the particular migration that you are talking about

we hunt for arrowheads around here , some are as old as Clovis


found these two about 5 miles from our place , a very experienced collector told us these are Paleo

Tarantulas. I do handle rattlesnakes as well but not too often anymore.

maybe Unca Walt will chime in with a rattlesnake story , like cutting their heads off with a pocket knife when the snake was trying to bite him

legendary I tell ya!

have you checked out Picketwire Canyon?

 

[runyoned18]

If anyone is interested in the sharks' teeth and fossil hunting here are the directions to where we go. And That would be awesome to get a small group and do some fossil hunting. I have really good luck going to Picket wire canyon and Vogal canyon for reptile hunting near LA Junta Co.
