There are two kinda azzholes on the Sisters, the one that refuses to let the fast & furious pass, and the fast & furious. It puts the innocent oncoming folks in danger.
The bonus azzhole is the one pulling a trailer so long he cannot make a turn without being in both lanes I’m gonna plead to being a minor member of the second group, I generally wasn’t rude or stupid on purpose. Oddest creature I ever saw loose was an Arabian orynx running down a highway out by Rocksprings, but of course there’s a bunch of them out there, far more than in Saudi/North Africa anymore.

A few years ago, I had a hog break a new 1/8" 7x7 stainless snare. Snare was not twisted or kinked, it was pull straight into. You could see where the hog dug in and other than the one set of dug in footprints, there was no sign of struggle at all. 1700# tensile strength.
I think there must have been a bad spot in the cable, but it didn't look like it. have had that happen by one of two high boars that used to run together on our old place before my parents sold it. No worries, I was packing a .380 👍🏻

Driving by a high fence ranch in south Texas, we observed a pretty good herd of camels! 😳
My youngest has a property in south Texas. There is a free range nilgai cow that roams the adjacent high fence property! BIL says Nilgai are pretty tasty. He used to hunt the barrier islands east of the King Ranch from a boat. that's where I hunt them. My youngest brother has killed a couple of them doing same w boat there. Outstanding on the table.
America, Our Country and we’re taking it back.

No worries, I was packing a .380 👍🏻 You might wanna switch to 45 Super in an HK for Texas Hill Country. I raised the height of my gravity feeders to accommodate reds and alleviate hogs…The new height is impressive because of some big azz hogs. So I was carrying a nine with 147gr plus P plus HP. Had a boar growling at me while filling feeders at 12 yards, double tapped him twice and he didn’t flinch. He trotted off and I heard the death groan a few minutes later but he coulda got me if he wanted. Then there are rutting Stag and elk in that thick ass cedar.

There's an idiot a few miles south of Brentwood Tennessee than has a couple of bison in a pasture right next to Interstate 65- - - - -behind a really flimsy looking board fence. If one of them ever got spooked, it could be right in the middle of the northbound lane in about half a minute. That could cause a really epic chain reaction crash!

They don’t hardly get over 200 pounds on our lease in Burnet county. They will in east Texas, more to eat.

A high fence along SH 37 between Winnsboro and Mt. Vernon has a couple of buffalo.
