Dude,I'm well over 60. Grew up on a ranch in the mountains of extreme west Texas and then out in southern NM. Those folks are the NOSIEST motherfuckers you could ever not want to meet. They will NOT be happy or stop talking until somebody sees what's being grown there. The suspicions will be there from the "git go" like they say. plus, it's usually the baddest motherfucker who might even have had scrapes with the law who ends up sheriff. Then ain't no other SOB telling him what to do.
Bad idea all around.
