Texan

I'm another transplanted yankee...
Moved here 24 years ago...
By far, the smartest thing I've ever done...
You're welcome here if you can speak the language, pay yer bills, and act like a grown-up.
The big cities are just like anywhere else, but just outside of them you can find your nirvana.

Amarillo resident here (been here my whole life). I LOVE this state.

Texas

All this and not one mention of Robert Earl Keen? Texas has it's own brand of music, too, to go along with all that other good stuff. I've been all over and it really is true that the women in Texas are easier on they eyes than anywhere else.

If your willin' to commute to work a considerable distance, "there's dang near somethin' fer everbody." East, West, North, South, and Central, Oops, forgot Panhandle. It'll bring a tear to your eye !. LOTS of space to stretch and put down some roots. I love Texas 364 1/4 days a year. There's only one day I am all OKIE and that is OU/ TEXAS weekend ! Go SOONERS !

Texas is a great place to live...

but if you want to hunt (besides doves), you'd better be a rich man. Very little public land and what there is is very overcrowded. Corporate leases have destroyed hunting opportunities for average folks. Just my opinion.

+1 I am too poor to hunt here but I love living in Texas

Well, as a Texan who left I have to say I have absolutely no desire to move back. I won't go into much detail but things like high property taxes and hardly any public land have turned me off to TX.

I grew up on the south plains and think everyone should experience just one day there in March when the wind is blowing 65-70 miles an hour.

I'll just hang out over here in NM and visit when the weather is nice.

Somebody needs to close the gate at all of our borders. Things are getting out of control around here.

+1 for the music of Robert Earl Keen. If you haven't heard his work, check it out.

God and Texas.

Texas has over 1 million acres of public hunting land, and only requires a $48 permit to gain access. You don't have to be rich to hunt in Texas. You do have to be willing to walk a little.

If you can work around the dumb liquor laws, and the lack of open carry, Texas is still the best state in the union. With the best wimmen (save one, right, Cupcake?), the best chili, the best guitar pickin', and the best football, starting every Friday night in the fall.

You can't beat Texas. Don't even try.

SM,


"Shush...you hear it? I do. That be the Quail. Respect the Quail."



You made me homesick with that line. I miss quail song.

If I could move anywhere in Texas it would be near Concan or somewhere near Garner State Park. I grew up just south of those two. My current job has me out in South Texas but if I could keep my job and move back I'd do it in a heartbeat. San Antonio is nice, so is Buda and Kyle.
