Filming "Yellowstone" in Montana is no joke. The cast goes through cowboy camp, they deal with the harsh seasons that come with the state, and they do a great job of showing off Montana’s beauty through the ranching scenes. Now, we’re seeing a whole new side of ranching as Rip and some of the bunkhouse moved to Texas with the herd. That meant production moved to Texas too, and Cole Hauser and Kelly Reilly told me about the challenges that came with filming in this new environment.

Ahead of "Yellowstone’s" Season 5B premiere on the TV schedule, I spoke to Kelly Reilly and Cole Hauser about Rip and Beth’s story. That included us chatting about their characters making their way to Texas to help save the "Yellowstone’s" cows. Both actors didn’t hold back when it came to the big challenges of filming in The Lone Star State, and Reilly even explained that they had to have a snake wrangler on set.

00:00I was going to ask about the differences of filming in Montana versus Texas, especially when you're filming the ranching scenes.
00:07There's a lot more snakes in Texas. We had a snake wrangler and they found a bunch of them, all the big rattlesnakes and the tarantulas.
00:15Like I'm from South London, like this most scary thing in England is a stinging knuckle.
00:20It's hot as hell there too.
00:21It's so hot.
00:22I'm in all black, black beaver, black shirt, black chaps.
00:26I mean, we were 110.
00:28Insane.
00:29We were there for, you were there longer than me.
00:31I only did a few days in Texas, but we're filming on the Four Sixes Ranch out near Guthrie.
00:36Is that right, Guthrie?
00:37Yep.
00:38Amarillo.
00:39And it was just this expansive land.
00:42You feel like you're in the savannah of Africa.
00:45Yeah, you can't even keep weight on either.
00:47I mean, everybody lost weight on there.
00:48We were riding and chasing cows.
00:50Just sweating.
00:51Really, yeah.
00:52I mean, you're just every day trying to drink as much water as you can and sell tablets.
00:56Yeah, definitely.
00:57But very cool, though, to be out there in Four Sixes.
00:59I mean, it's a legendary rent.
01:01Yeah.
01:01Yeah.
01:01Yeah.
01:01Yeah.
