I think this goes waaaaaay back to some old timers and a few select game wardens that really butted heads back in the 70s and 80s. Now in modern times those game wardens that are still with the department are in positions of influence and they have some political connections as well in TX... and they still have that same chip on the shoulder.



In other words it is a 100% personal grudge and a total lack of understanding for what herpers are really doing out there. I still hear stories about how we pick up everything to sell and some things are worth thousands of dollars... and that is way off on all accounts, in fact we spend thousands of dollars and might find one thing we want to keep or photogragh and it might be worth a couple hundred if we did sell it for a huge loss in the realistic scheme of things. In other words the "commercial hunter" they think we are is just not viable as a business anyway.
