You understand wrong.
The main hunting right around here is quail and pigeons.
The javelina are out there, away from the county, but are rather hard to
find. Same for the deer. It's much easier to go looking for rattlers.
Rattlesnake is low carb. <G>
Are there really Bobwhites out there?
That's good news! That means that you probably don't have the fire ant
problem that we have here! They have nearly wiped out the quail in
Central Texas. Sad.
Haven't seen any fire ants.
But we do have roadrunners, tarantulas, and horned toads.
I saw a roadrunner fly up to the top of my back gate, then up to my
roof. Ran across the top of my roof then vanished. :-) It was quite a
treat.
Tarantulas, good for the pet market but I leave them be. They are not
common here. You must have a lot of sage brush??
Horned toads, Texas horned lizards are considered a threatened species,
mainly due to FIRE ANTS.
You are lucky not to have the little [censored].
It's one of the few insects I WILL treat with pesticide baits. Amdro is
a good thing.
Cheers!
