pz, Absolutely! Always the prize cow that the oilfield operators "do in" ! If you work in the oilfields then you probably know that oilfields do not generally allow hunting. And for that reason these big oilfields are like natural game reserves...

There is a special danger in the Hugoton Gas Fields in the Oklahoma Panhandle and SW Kansas- and it's the crazy cattle truck drivers! They drive huge semi trailer trucks down the gravel roads loaded with cattle at 80 mph. If the semi does not run your oilfield truck off of the road, then it showers your windshield with gravel as it roars by- nary an intact windshield in the gasfields in SW Kansas........

Sincerely,

Doug F.

PS. BTW- If you are ever out in this part of the US I highly recommend stopping in any of the National Grass Lands in the Texas/Oklahoma Panhandles or SE Colorado, and walking through them. Dead empty, nary a soul, and its quite beautiful with the wind whipping the tall grass prairies like a flag waves in the breeze. No noise except the prairie dogs whistling or hawks calling-, close your eyes and you can see the Kiowa Ponies charging across the Plains, or the rumble of a settler's wagon wheel....
