    The tarantulas start moving in huge numbers around October I think. Feral hogs, scorpions, rattle snakes ... just don't wander far from your truck and the road, day or night. Humans will probably not be a problem.

    If you're that afraid go to San Antonio and turn south on 35. Adds about 100 miles but you won't have to worry about banditos riding out on their horses firing their six shooters to rob you.

    It is probably safer than going into some parts of town in many of the nations congested cities. Enjoy the drive.

    God bless every American and their families! God bless the U.S.A.!

    Depends on how good of a "brush guard" you install.

    I ran part of that route going to Del Rio a few weeks ago.. not bad at all, pretty heavy border patrol presence the whole way. I hit an owl or hawk or some kind of large bird and broke my grill along the way but I dont think that risk is limited to the border area lol. Nice new pilot in Carrizo Springs too
