Well since the field collecting forum is down I figured that I would post this here...

This coming year I am planning on spending way to much time in the field documenting specimens and photographing them. This will be my first season out in the field but I know the areas here very well and I am learning/reading/searching out info all the time in preperation.
I have made plans to do nothing more than take photos and document species as I am new to field-herping and do not wish to cause harm to the herps or to myself. I will be purchasing Gentle Giant Tongs and a hook as well. The area I live in is eastern Montana and Rattlesnakes and Bulls are on the list of species I will be looking for.
I have a couple of questions:
1: Are there any websites that deal specifically with field-herping?
2: Any reccomendations as to books?
3: Any tips, thoughts, pointers or Ideas?
4: Any one want to come along?:-)

#4 is indeed an invite if any of you ever get up this way and would like to head out into the badlands of eastern Montana. If so just contact me via email.

Thanks for your time and knowledge sharing,
Charles
