A large population down here, no many do dumb stuff like "Rattlesnake Republic" but the few who do it stick out like sore thumbs! We were working a train whreck about 30 years ago a bit West of Fort, Worth and the guys stumbled on a 6 foot ball of Rattle Snakes holed up for the winter in a drain - - - never so happy too see the bunch from West Texas with their tote sacks come to pick 'em up.
