Thanks. I’ve actually gone through this some. Good information. I’m going to be out near Buena Vista this weekend and gonna give it a go.

I've run into them at 8500 or so and higher. They live in burrows dug out of the slope in black timber usually about six feet or so deep with a short spur tunnel at the end which breaks off at a 90 degree angle.
