Good pics, man. You had good luck w/ the Gilas. What part of AZ are you in? Back in June we hit up Carefree & Wickenburg and a few other spots, but no Gilas and not much of anything else either.

Hey man...thanks for the compliments...I live in Phoenix, and these animals are all seen in the Phoenix/Scottsdale area.

My buddy lives in Cave Creek and we go there as well...Wickenburg is a cool area too....

Next time we hit AZ I'll shoot you an email. Maybe you can let us know some good spots, if you've seen anything, and what's poppin'.
