I have to admit that I love that whole cowboy culture, and I think it's kinda sad that Texas has lost much of it.
Side note: many of those old Western movies and TV shows were filmed in southern Utah. While I love the lush greenery here in the Eastern US, I have to head out West every summer to get my fix of that awesome desert/cowboy/rancher environment.
Not true. Those old cowboy movies were filmed outside LA [ever hear of Vasquez Rocks?].
I agree. Wyoming, by far. Texas may have a lot of cowboys but its cowboy culture has been diluted by its metropolises. Wyoming doesn't have many large towns--it doesn't have many towns at all. It's possible and even likely that most Texans don't live anywhere near a ranch and would rarely see a wild animal their entire lives, but in Wyoming the cowboy lifestyle is everywhere.
I agree. And alot of the people that actually dress like that arent real cowboys and are just doing because that's what they like to wear. You know Westernware.
