Carnage on the prairies

Sister-out-law Alex is joining us for the first time for a Wiwchar family Christmas.

She and Nicole have inadvertently set a new goal for this festive season - experience carnage on a daily basis.

Day 1:  Mowed down prairie chicken on the way into town.  Feathers everywhere.
Day 2: Witnessed a mighty battle between Sam the dog and a three-legged coyote.  Apparently very noisy and dramatic.  Sam gained the upper hand on the already injured beast with a missing paw.  Uncle Peter ended things with the 22.
Day 3: Apparently there is a bounty for coyotes (who knew?). Nicole and Alex's outing was to go chop the legs off the deceased.  Gross.

Chris wondered how it was that Alex is repelled by rare steak, yet has no problems with liberating limbs from carcasses.  "It's completely different" apparently.

I reiterate....ewww.

Day 4 - stay tuned...
