Tales of a Texas Boy
Rattlesnakes and Jackrabbits
Domestic
livestock weren’t the only animals that the farmers and ranchers
had to deal with. The wildlife of the region didn’t hide out in the
bushes all the time. Sometimes they were pretty much in your face.
Rattlesnakes came to the farms to catch the rats and mice that
populated granaries. Rabbits also took a liking to the easy pickings.
Both animals, rattlesnakes and jackrabbits, ended up being a nuisance
that the local farmers and ranchers had to control.
TEXANS LIKE TO brag everything is
bigger in Texas. That might be a little exaggeration, but with two
things I think it’s pretty much the truth. In Texas, rattlesnakes
and jackrabbits come in three sizes: big, bigger, and biggest. I’m
also of a mind there are more of each of these critters per square
mile than fleas on a stray dog.
