As far as helping goes, I am working with some people to tentatively suggest the above mentioned items and so far the result has been hugely popular. Sweat equity would be greatly appreciated as far as doing some minor little things to the property while/before herping, I would take care of a lot of it as not many I think are willing to actually go out, and perhaps mend a fence, or fix a wind mill or other item for herping rights. What I find around here works heavily to our advantage…the land owners in this area do not give two damned cents about the snakes on there property, in fact when I ask about going out to just hunt snakes generally I get something along the lines of “take them, take them all, I don’t want them..” and so forth. I work in the oil field business so I meet a lot of land owners with huge tracts of land and/or the leases for such property. At the moment I have pulled together access to over 1,500 acres of private land throughout west Texas. No one from these forums seems to be all that interested in getting in touch with me about how they to can access the land, I would like to talk to others that would like to get this whole organization thing rolling. I grew up in Idaho, I speak ‘Red Neck’ thoroughly and am a hell of a salesman in this area, it isn’t difficult for me to arrange many large areas of land for us to hunt on. The only freaking problem is that it will take 1 just ONE moron throwing trash, gassing a hole, or running over/disrespecting the land owners property and we will forever loose rights to those areas. Right now the counties that I have land we can hunt in are as follows, Ector, Midland, Andrews, Crane, Pecos, Loving, Cockett, and some around River Road.
