I'm not keeping any ugly 277s, but until I get a nice adult male with more than a 1/4" of tail, I'm going back LOL

As for the rest . . . I simply enjoy hunting the Gap & River Road (both of which the wardens have finally admitted are legal to hunt!) more than any other roads in TX (when the weather is right).

Basically, its not all about finding new snakes or new populations, but rather about having a good time in a place you enjoy. I occassionally go hunt 54 or 2185 north of Van Horn, have hunted the Indian Hot Springs road, and have produced distributional records for NE Terrell Co (Sheffield area), but a lot of these edge or range roads are really "marginal" for alterna (e.g. 2185 is great for subocs and splendida, but marginal for alterna) whereas the River is 13 miles of exceptional habitat for lots of different species and simply a damn fun road to cruise.
