I killed a coyote here, we hid the truck by the hid the truck by the well head and used the power poles in the distance to lean against. The little bushes are actually cholla cactus, not something you want to lean against.
We have mountain/hills in little bunches and stick up out of large flat areas, plus we have rain lanes, the storms seam to follow paths through the mountains, You'l have areas that have no vegetation other than calf high greasewood and others with mesquite and grass and these can be really baron if over grazed. grassy flat.
Being desert not much grows, looking out from my daughters mining claim, if there were a coyote moving out there you could see him. the ground right in front of the camera is what the whole area is.
One year I tore up my ankle and hunted the last two months with a brace on my ankle and the only thing that fits and didn't hurt was a sandal. Sandals, cactus spines, mesquite thorns and cat burs don't go together.
Jumping cholla sticks to everything and prickly pear has little fuzzy spine in addition to the big spines.
I have to Slime my bike tires to keep air in them. When I first moved here I couldn't even get to town without a tire going flat. I finally put flat free solid tires on my wheel barrows and hand trucks.
