Good point to make. I am also glad to see you bring up the issue of how TPWD has change over the years.
Troy, please post the site you produced with the letter about the road hunting. I would like to take a copy with me when I am out. Thanks.
Someone else also mentioned about Glades advertising snakes for sale. It might be very important to point out that snakes out of the wild are always going to be necessary. There are alot of people who will never be able to go and actually collect their own animals. I know that there are enough people breeding alterna that there should be a surplus of animals for sale. There are still those that want local specific, and want new blood. There are not many people breeding long nose or night snakes for obvious reasons but there are still people who want to have one who cannot or will not expend the money to travel from NY to Texas to capture one. Also if it were not for the collector and the sale of animals to others who cannot capture there own, where would we be even with alterna? The people who do stand on this soap box also appear to be hypocritical as the question arises -- What are they doing with the animals they produce???? Selling them????? Or are they keeping them forever. Surely they are not returning and letting them go. Nothing better than self righteousness.
