Sand county? Don't know where that is either, but here in Lee County Texas I have given up trying to keep any fowl or small critters..As soon as the sun goes down it is absolute carnage and mayhem...City slickers don't seem to have much effect on varmints..I have seen Coyotes, Bobcats, Foxes, Skunks, Armadillos, raccoons, opossums..and even a Hog all within a mile of downtown Houston
