Looks like a Mojave Green to me as well...I used to live in the Antelope Valley in California (the mojave green capital of the world). They are indeed the nastiest rattlers out there.
I have hunted both north and south slopes of the uintas (any bull units). They are tough to hunt because the areas are huge, but they also get a ton of pressure, especially during rifle season. I can't speak to utah spike only units. Hopefully others can chime in.
Thank you guys, I appreciate the info. Sometimes I get stuck looking for elk quite a ways from the truck and won't get back until nightfall. Your tips will be super useful
