manholt Report post Posted September 13, 2020 Don C. Be glad your Ranch is not in California...Wild hogs are protected! So far, we are real Lucky...No hogs on ranch! Not even on our camp by Three Rivers! My best friend has 1,895 acres in Gladewater, TX and figures he has between 3-5,000 hogs that goes between his ranch and 2 others...that was 4 years ago when he gave up estimating! He's got another 1,490 acres, 23 miles south of Dallas, off !-45 and not 1 hog has been seen! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Wild pigs are considered a game animal in California - not sure where you're getting that they are protected. You need a hunting license, but apparently there is no bag limit for pigs killed on your own property. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

We have a certain type of people here that tried introducing animals that were endangered back into the wild. Rattlesnakes, bobcats, coyotes, are just a few that have been released around here. The bobcats seem to have met with cattle ranchers herd protection methods. Coyotes became so populous there is now a bounty on ears turned in. Rattlesnakes seem to be meeting The Judge quite often now in my county. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Yes that liquor store at the state line is like the "Buc-ee's" of liquor stores. https://buc-ees.com/ Well it probably isn't as big as a Buc-ee's.

elkhartjim Report post Posted September 16, 2020 Speaking of liquor stores, we've been in Utah for the last couple of weeks and of course they only have state liquor stores but the problem we're having we went to 3 Mexican Restaurants yesterday before we found one with margaritas. Went to dinner at an upscale (based on price) restaurant last night and no wine service. We leave tomorrow for Ouray where will be able to get anything and everything, if you know what I mean.

manholt Report post Posted September 17, 2020 We leave for Utah Monday! Got enough wine to last 2 months, Linda likes a beer now and then along with a margarita (not often due to being diabetic)! We go out for dinner once a week. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

LOL I can tell Bill has never experienced a Buc-ee's. They work at being the biggest. The New Braunfels, Tex., location is said to be the largest convenience store in the world: 68,000 square feet; 120 fueling positions; 80 fountain dispensers; 27 cash registers; and four Icee machines. It also has 33 urinals and 50 toilet stalls. We have 3 Applejack's in the area. Bill Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

fagnaml Report post Posted September 18, 2020 For bragging rights, the store at the Buc-ee's near my home in Katy may not have the largest store (though at 50,000+ square feet it is big), the Katy Buc-ee's has the Guiness World Record for the largest car wash on the planet! --> https://www.click2houston.com/news/2017/11/16/buc-ees-car-wash-in-katy-gets-guinness-record-as-worlds-longest/ It is said that Buc-ee's has a "cult" following. I openly confess that I'm part of the cult 😵 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
wayne77590 Report post Posted September 18, 2020 (edited) There definitely is a cult following. My neighbor just traveled up to the panhandle, then down to the valley and just to visit Bucee's. His goal is to visit everyone of them in the State of Texas. p.s., it is 60,000 Sq Ft. Edited September 18, 2020 by wayne77590 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

hermanmullins Report post Posted September 19, 2020 I got a Bucee's c/c. I get $0.20 per gallon off fuel till January 1 and then it is $0.10 per gallon after that. Great for diesel except it has a small nozzle, but I'm retired and not in a hurry. And it doesn't cut off until your full. Herman Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
manholt Report post Posted September 19, 2020 RayIN. Pancreatic cancer is what did her in! I had a like, dislike for her...Should be a age limit. RIP Problem with Bucee's, is that you don't know witch ones take Big Rigs/Trucks! The one off I-45 in League City was a real trill to get away from, no 18 wheelers or RV facility.

wildebill308 Report post Posted September 19, 2020 Most of them say "No Trucks" but I have always found a end diesel pump on a island that was fairly easy to get to and away from. With over 100 pumps The end pumps are never that busey. The diesel/fuel prices are good it is when you go inside it gets expensive. Bill Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
