The landscape continues to slowly change. The fields are greener and the grasses and denser and longer. We were not surprised to learn that there are a lot of hunting areas here in central Kansas.* Deer, pheasant and other game birds have lots to eat and plenty of cover. We have also been seeing jackrabbits running in the fields along the route that look big enough to do some damage if one were to jump out in front of us. At the museum in Scott City we learned that they used to have rabbit drives in this area in the 30s and 40s (I am not making this up, I swear) because they were so numerous they were eating crops and grass intended for the cattle.
*I have never hunted but I certainly love to eat game. So while I can't shoot Bambi, I am delighted when one of our hunting friends asks if we have available freezer space.
