When I was at the Okie-Tex starparty back in 2006, I saw huge brown and black tarantula like critters creeping around in the grass. Apparently, they are native to the area and they were larger than my hand. Fortunately for me I wasn't accosted by one at two in the morning because they looked like something out of an Indiana Jones movie. However, I have encountered threatening people more than once in the boondocks. One of them got a good look at the Colt .45 automatic pistol I had after he started to charge towards me in his truck. He wisely left after that, but I wasted no time in packing up and leaving just in case he came back with reinforcements. I never go to a remote area unarmed because of the meth cookers and marijuana growers out there who will kill people to keep their activities undetected.
