First I see my bearded hen ................now I saw a JACKRABBIT about 3 miles southeast of my place along the hiway. The first "jack" I've seen in a number of years around Center that I can remember. The coyote numbers are down around here and the cottontails are everywhere I wonder if the jacks will make a come back......... THAT would be quite a story for here!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Are you sure you didn't load one up and take it home with you when you left my place. I'm guessing that its been 20 years since I seen a Jackrabbit up home there. Now out here I have one that is in my yard along with some cottontails every night.
