Great story.

Of course had it been Jesse Ventura he'd walk around with a mini-gun but this governor is 2nd coolest governor ever.

Someone's trying to get on Frazz's good side.

Big whoop.

Anyone who knows how to use a gun can shoot a coyote.

But how many Governors know how to shoot one? LOL.

He is the current favorite for the 2012 Republican Presidential run. In some circles, anyway; lots of Tea Party friendly positions.

Of course, he'd still be laid against the Republican establishment, which isn't Tea Party friendly at all.

Crist
Pawlenty
Huckabee
Jindal
Romney


I'd be panicked if I was Perry, presidential rumours have been a political death sentence so far.

Not that shocking.

I thought Texans killed snakes with knives or shovels, not guns.

My old dog was ambushed by coyotes in Cali once, while hiking-he was ahead of me.
Before I managed to get there he tore one up and had another one in his mouth. Coyote pack 0 American Bull Terrier 2.

With our teeth! Babies, being smaller are forced to use their magnums.

Between snakes, gators, and scorpions, I'm only worried about the scorpions. And the Damnyankees of course.

I love Texas so much.

If it can be solved by shooting it, go for it!

I'll assume the topic creator is a mere child and doesn't remember Texas Governor Anne Richards, who would have simply shamed the coyote into committing suicide with her incisive wit...

Why the scorpions? (honest question)

I actually killed a copperhead (snake) with a pocket knife once because I was being a moron I remember seeing coyotes on my grandparent's property at night. People hang dead ones along their fences as it supposedly scares others away.

As opposed to giving the scavengers something to sniff at?XD

"dem ki-otes know ta stay away winyuv ahridy killed uh few" I believe the old man said Good point on the scavengers though. That's probably why they end up being hanging skeletons.

Scorpions are evil muthers who attack. Like water moccasins they don't run but attack. Unlike water moccasins I can't kill one with a 230 grain jacketed hollow point. besides being 1/2 Louisianian I have an affinity for all swamp dwelling reptiles. Plus they taste like chicken. Scopions, not so much.

Yea we had coyotes running through last night. Cats always climb over the fence into our back yard and the neighborhood dogs go berserk.

OMG another Louisiana person who now lives in Texas!!!!

Also coyotes and water moccasins cant hide in your shoe.... Waiting for your unsuspecting foot......

Theres a reason i beat the gak outa my shoes i leave sitting outside, and the neighbors look at me like im crazy!

On another note about gun toting texans... I had a bunch of idiot kids playing hide and go seek at 1am hide in my backyard..... The parents actually called the cops on me for pointing a shotgun at them. They coulda been a serial killer for all i know. Nothing funnier then the cops asking me if i wanted to press trespassing charges on the kids in front of the parents trying to get me arrested!

Paranoia? nooo....

Oh, and I own a scorpion :( So I frown upon your killing.

Yea. All kinds of nastiness can get in your shoes. Its not bad where I am now but when we had the lakehouse I would not go downstairs at night. There was always at least one scoprion, tarantula, or scary looking wood spider on the wall or in the middle of the floor there.

Ironically its at the current house that She Who Must Be Obeyed went toe to toe with a young rattler who got in the house and was going after the birds and the same house i found another stuck in the door (was trying to slide in when smoeone opened it but got caught and squished.

At the Houston house if you leave the grass to grow for more than two weeks in the summer you can expect a snake in the back yard. But we have deer, snakes, hawks, vultures, cattle, and pigs there so I expect that.

I wish deer came into my backyard... So they could meet with an unfortunate accident.. And i cant just let all that meat go to waste!

She's my darling!

I'll stick with rescue dogs and a surviving parakeet thanks. Yikes. We do have a heard of semidomesticated lizards at the Houston house.

I did have a preying mantis that hung out in my window for a while. Way cool. It kung fu'd a wasp once. Most impressive.

I know it's a she because she's a mother. And I know how to see the gender in scorpions


I also have, dog, cat fishies, birds.

And used to have: Orchid Mantis, Pacman Frog.

No three dogs back. That was George the great one, a 90 lb American Bull Terrier (pit bull). The dog could leap over a fence from a sitting start.
