Here are some of the non benefits.....it is dangerous to walk a lot of the cuts, especially on Juno Rd. cause most are so close to the road and it is curvy in some places - you could get hit by tire testers going like bats out of hell. Second, you are nowhere near your vehicle, so it could be robbed or vandalized. Third, if you are older like many of our clan, how difficult and safe is it for walking cuts? There are no provisions for handicap access like hunting from your vehicle. Once you leave that vehicle you are at the mercy of the desert and anyone that wants to do you harm. In all the years of herping I cannot find a single incident where collecting from a vehicle with artificial lights caused any accidents. So the State of Texas has thrown us out into the desert with no concern for our safety. Yet you are most welcome to come to Texas and slaughter as many animals as you like - including rattlesnakes at the various roundups. If Texas is looking for safety, this ain't the way to go about it. Really - a reflective vest? How safe do you feel now? And by the way....the cartels run drugs up and down the Juno Rd.
