Great update. I’m setting the odds that your pops proclaimed pic 3 to be a mountain lion at 2:1.

He didnt confirm it in the email but just confirmed it now in person. Was talking about how he got a holster so he could have a pistol when he walked around the windbreak due to mountain lions.

He also said my cousin killed a bobcat out there a couple weeks ago but the cat in the trail cam was definitely a mountian lion "you can tell by how long the tail is"

Also you should tell him that he’s 100% accurate that the tail is too long to be a bobcat.

lmao, american coot aka mudhen, i don't understand how any possible family history can result in a person whose family owns a farm in western ks but hasn't seen a jackrabbit, good-looking cows over there.

Thank you for identifying the duck.

My history on the farm is basically spending a week out there in the summer between 4-7th grade + random holidays.

My gpa always told me to i could kill any rabbits i saw but if i saw a jackrabbit i had to kill it immediately. He grew up in the dustbowl/great depression and would shoot any Jackrabbit on site but i never saw any when i was out visiting.

Never was allowed to meander almost a mile away from the house as a pre-teen city boy to check out the "Creek" so seeing ducks out there is a new thing to me.

Thats why I post in this thread. To learn the difference between mountain lions/bobcats and ask people with real WKS what these tiny ducks are out in the pasture.

Just read the Wikipedia page on mudhens/american coot and that is not the duck I saw. They were all brown with white specks.

A quick google search leads me to believe they might of been "Gadwalls"?

Yes, when i got in friday night my dad was really excited to drive to to the top of a hill by the pasture where you can see all of them blinking in unison.

Ben ji you need one of these attached to one of those windmills so you can pump that aquifer dry. We're cleaning out my in-laws house, and my father-in-law was a collector of all things antique farming,

Then back to the pasture again because my dad saw some actual musk thistle that needed to be sprayed. Im really happy he has learned the difference between prairie/musk thistle in the last year.

Ended up chilling with the cows for a bit and admiring the testicles on the young bulls.

As soon as they saw a truck they made a bee line right for us thinking they were going to get some special feed or sonething.

NOPE! Just practicing good pasture management and spraying musk thistle.

Nice cattle, what breed if I may ask?

My father in law was a state champion corn shucker back in the day. That is to say he was kicking butt in his 70s and 80s. These had went missing during the house clean up until today.
