That's the brim of my hat in the lower-right corner of this photo. The herd of cows are just behind the crewmember that shot this photo. The bull was mainly curious. Still, someone always kept an eye on it.
Another fellah stopped to talk with us. He said he just about stepped on a rattle snake about 300 meters east of this location in an ephemeral creek. Not but an hour or two prior, a storm system released about an inch of rain. This soaked the rattle on the rattlesnake. It wouldn't have been able to alert us, even if it wanted to. We opted not to perform our pedestrian survey in that particular area. No photos of the snake.

Why does this photo remind me of Bill Murray [the actor] hunting down the gopher in Caddyshack?
It's the hat, AA. It's definitely the hat.
...one more note: unlike Murray, we didn't have any c-4 to shape into gopher or bovine charges.
All for the best, reduces collateral damage and all that, MFT. Murray, if I recall rightly, left that golfgreen looking a little like Khe Sanh, 1968
...to think of what a bovine-sized c-4 charge would do to the Badlands.
