James and Leftlane,

You could get 3 meals outta a 6 footer with 9 inch diameter.
Yummy.

Snakes scare the pee out of me.

Jim

Going to be culture shock for sure coming from Alaska

Humidity, heat, snakes, scorpions, spiders and more

Good news is there are no grizzlies, polar bears, wolverines, snow for more than a few days, days that last months, nights that last months, etc

Have a few of these around too.

I'll stick with snakes thank you very much.

Gators don't scare me as much. Kind of like bears, I guess.

Jim

I'm trying to talk my son into moving to Colorado, since I have family there.

No offense intended, Texans. I grew up in Ohio, and even the heat and humidity there was too much for me.

Jim

There’s a big West Fraser sawmill in Henderson, that’s about all I know of it. I live several hours north in Paris, which is almost in Oklahoma.

The country and vegetation in the snake picture remind me of Africa. A place that's only habitable in winter time.

Jim

Mr. June, have you run into any others besides Diamondbacks?
I don’t mind snakes and let them live everywhere except where I’m asked/told to kill them and even then a few get a pass.
Alligators I don’t mind. They are more of an issue trying to fish than anything else. Especially from the banks. They are like buzzards swooping in when fighting a fish.
About the only thing that concerns me in the dark are hogs...and ironically I’ll hunt them in the dark. Guess it’s that adrenaline rush you get, lol. The only thing that’s ever put me up a tree has been hogs. Most everything else will leave you alone if given their space.

(This word is unacceptable on Trapperman)??? I do a lot of stupid (This word is unacceptable on Trapperman), but how did you get that gator in your boat?

Wanna Be,

We have coral and copper heads in abundance. I have markets for all snake hides so they get a nice tan job and shipped out. Helps pay the bills.
I don't mess with the rat snakes, whip snakes, and water moccasins. The rest, I have no idea what they are except fast.

That wasn't me. It was taken on a permit hunt on Lake Steinhagen near me. Lake has a big gator population.

James,
Friends don't let friends move to Texas!

Tons of Canadian snowbirds there in winter. I went to SE Texas for 2 weeks this past January. Coming from Alaska and coming from here the same. You might find too many fences there. Like real land fences and rules fences. Rules fences = regulations. Can't go anywhere without running into fences and rules. Must be because there are too many people. Would like to have seen it when people were scarce. Nice place to visit but could not live there and even hot in January so would not survive the summer. Colarado sounds nice but was never there.

I think Davey Crockett said something about Texas being as close to heaven as you can get on earth.

Colorado is turning into a mini California.

Steers and queers

Yeah, I think Colorado is getting pretty Californiaized, from what I can tell.

But you can flyfish for trout there.
