    This one failed the Darwin test.
    10 am this morning in an open paddock I walked to within 5 m of it and thought why not.

    The reason I was out with my Texan was that the freezer had a space that needed filling.

    Saw two hares on the ranch last night but they headed towards the skyline so they will keep for another night.
    Went back up to the 'hare paddock' while I was out.
