I thought they were coyotes!

Andy was at the door the other day and I saw behind him up on the hill was what I thought were coyotes frolicking on the top. I said to him "Look at the coyotes playing up there, wow they are pretty big for me to see them up there". Andy turned around and looked and said "They are not coyotes, they are jack rabbits!" OMG these were huge! I went and grabbed my binoculars and looked and he was right. They were huge!!! I grabbed my camera which I didn't have the correct lens on it but took pictures anyway. Well I didn't get any shots of these HUGE animals but I wanted to post the hill where they were.

I said to Andy I want to take a walk up there and see if I can see and capture these animals. They look like they are out of National Geographic mutant animals! Here I am at a dinner party and telling people about it and they laughed at me! I'll show them, I know they are real because a time or two I have seen them lurk across my property which I thought they were dogs, I am talking HUGE!

So, off I go and let's see what I can find, just really need to be careful, rattlesnakes are abundant this year, we see on an average 6 or 7 a year and end up killing 3 or 4. The timber rattlers are the ones that freak me out!

So here is a picture of our hill across from us. I didn't get the mutants!
