I'm small town. But lived at the edge of town while I was younger and had all sorts of smaller critters in the yard. Skunks possums, coons, etc. I had a fascination with snakes too, we had em all over our yard. Caught hundreds as a kid. Spent alot of time hunting & fishing, but never really had the bigtime exposure of farm life. Went to college in both a rural small town campus, & then down to Pitt in the city. Bit of a culture shock but I am just as comfortable making my way around the city as I am the woods, but that is only from necessity.
