I spent almost every summer on my grandfather’s place in Cross Plains. 150 acres. It was a lot of work and a lot of fun. One of the things he taught me was to always be careful where you step. It’s probably why I walk and mostly look at the ground in front of me. I heard his voice again when I looked down after walking back from the trailer to throw debris into it from an old greenhouse I’m tearing down. ![[Linked Image]](https://texasfishingforum.com/forums/pics/userpics/2023/05/full-107841-184977-img_8747.jpeg)

We kill them all the time here.
My neighbor killed the biggest one I've ever seen two weeks ago. It was the same diameter as a handball and around 20" long.
She also found three babies nearby.
I killed one in my garage last week.
I hate to kill them but a bite means hospital, so....
"..The pleasantist angling is to see the fish
Cut with her golden oars the silver stream,
And greedily devour the treacherous bait.

I don’t know where you live but I’m glad I’m never in that area.
