Looks like it has Demodectic (i.e. "red") mange.
Range report - not much to say, kinda "iffy" on my part. Shooting factory Hornady 147 ELDM 6.5s. Targets @ 1000, 1227, and 1330. Wind was light @ 3-5, but shifting from 11:30 - 12:30 and dealing me fits because of the changing hold - now right, now left, etc. Targets are all full-size IPSCs. Started @ 1000, went 3/3 and fine-tuned the wind call. Moved to the 1227 target and went 3/3 using the same wind as before, adjusted for the extra distance. I then applied that to the 1330 target, and went 0/4 (Ugh). Finally realized the wind had changed from left to right and the hold required now was opposite of what had been working. I fired 8 more rounds, landing 6 of them on target, and called it a day. Ended up going 6/12 at that distance, but was having to keep changing the wind hold to stay on that target. Total of 18 rounds fired at all distances, 12/18 hits, all 6 misses were at 1330.

If it was easy everyone could do it. You got wind flags up?
And that Yote thing. Never seen one like that. Nasty.

Looks like a fucking zombie mutt.
Just a couple streamers. One near the target @ 1000, and another by the one at 1330, but that one wasn't "working" because it was stuck to the pole.
Hate that. I use flagging/survey tape. Going across multiple canyons n ridges jacks the wind back n forth all the time. Ties my crap up in a knot then it's back to grass n small limbs n leafs.
Dont fret. A wind on the nose or on the tail like that just gives me fits too. You're doing the best you can under those conditions. That's a super tough wind condition. Good on you for giving it a go.

No shit! Glad he got that mangy bastard. Looks like a f~^>ing Greyhound.
Looks exactly like a Greyhound. Thought the same thing. But it's got a pretty smile going for it.
Jumped on the ATV this afternoon to create a breeze 'cause I was sweating my bag off working outside. Ended up west of us just a bit and noticed a mowed area (surrounded by corn of course) with an engraved rock about 30 yards off the road. The Mann family cemetery. Counted 17 headstones all from the same family. Mostly older folks when they passed, but a few kids too. All from the 1840's to 1870's. Someone still keeps it mowed and trimmed, yet there is no listing of that name in the surrounding area based on the Hooterville phone book. This stone was easier to read than most. Notice that she "aged" and passed in 1841. This little plot is probably 5-7 miles from the nearest town. Tough folks back then, living out on the prairie and through Iowa winters, and still died of old age.

Catering truck yesterday at my lunch stop, Mission BBQ. Brisket, smoked ribeye, fries, cornbread, and green beans with bacon.
The poor counter girl just about shit herself when she read the t-shirt logo.
Dog came with. She ate good.

So I'm in the kitchen tonight building my tacos when Miss Lori starts making all these weird infantry hand signals that I have no clue what they mean other than something in the yard needs to perish. So, I haul ass for the cheap rack and grab the 243. Easy shot from a hasty field rest at 60 yards. This is now the 4th chuck I've dumped with this ammo inside 100 yards with not a single exit. Weird. 70 grain Nosler BT at 3200 +\- and no exit? Oh well, he was DRT.
yep gay faggot ducks are done, that damn coyote has been eating my shit for a couple months...
we have a plant nursery opened to the public and i didnt want to trap, customer kid get stuck in a snare trap, no good...
i have had him in sights 2 other times but didnt want to take the shot, city is growing up around us...
next door to us is a daycare center and they spotted the bastard and called me after putting the kids in...
anywho that mangy fucker got into an accident with some fast moving lead...
that thing was c a p...creepy as fuck
he ended up getting 3 full grown bronze mammoth turkeys, multiple chickens, eggs, rabbits, and yes two faggot peking ducks....
all in all i bet he ate a good 130 to 150 lbs of my meat...
Aw shit, really? I'd turn the range
Ha! Neighbors might have a small problem with that!

So he's the yote you were telling me about last time I was over there.
Glad you helped him meet his maker.
So, details...
What did you whack him with?

My new shootin' buddy: Best I can tell he's a Great Egret. Either that, or a white-phase Great Blue Heron, but almost sure he's a Great Egret. He's about waist-high or a little taller with his neck fully stretched. He first started hanging around the range on Thursday right after I bush-hogged the lane and stirred up all the bugs. He (and a mate) stalked around the truck about 30-40 yards away while I blasted downrange with a braked 6.5 (i.e. loud). They were completely unfazed. I was amazed that they just kept on hunting grasshoppers and paid me no attention. So yesterday, I drove down again to the same spot and they weren't there, but by the time I got out of the truck and started setting up, here they came, and dropped in right on top of me. I lost track of the mate and don't know where it went, but this one kept getting closer and closer while I started shooting. Completely oblivious to me and the blasting. Next thing I know I'm on the 1330 yard target getting my position re-built and all of a sudden everything goes blurry. I peer over the scope to see him standing in front of the gun right in the middle of the lane about 30 yards out. A really easy shot with a shotgun if he was a gobbler. I didn't think to try and pull my phone out and take another pic, but I wish I would have. If he does it again I will. I mean, I've had hunting dogs that were more gun-shy than him. At first I thought, "Neat, he's so tame he isn't even scared of gunfire." Then I thought, "Or, maybe he knows he's protected and is just being a jerk."
For reference, the tallest grass in this pic is about head-high.

Heron. Cool birds.
A guy posted a prop for sale on Craigslist a few months ago. The pic of the prop had a heron doing a side view kilroy.
Very funny pic

Well technically yes, but all egrets are herons (to my knowledge). The Great Egret is difficult to distinguish from a white-phase Great Blue Heron, but the color of the legs is supposed to be the tip-off. I think this guy has black legs, which makes him a Great Egret, but I can't remember for sure. If the legs are light-colored, then he's a white-phase Great Blue Heron. Since there were two of them, and they were identical, I'm thinking Great Egret. We have normal Great Blues on the pond every day (which is only a few feet from where this pic was made), but they have a bit of a head plumage that this guy doesn't seem to have. If he visits again I'll try to get a better look at the color of his legs, as I didn't realized yesterday that was important to note. I had planned to go back again today, and I'm sure he would be there, but my Social Director has announced a change of venue for the afternoon.
pureed that mother, for sure...
70 gr at 3200fps, damn, the projo did laps on the inside of him...
good kill
It's got something to do with chucking all that wood I bet.
^^ Winner! Reminds me of that commercial a few years back...Geico, maybe? By the time they chuck all of his wood, they'll be catching bullets in their teeth.
Ah, here it is. Now that I see it, it may be him in the video after all. Miss Lori must still be cuttin'.

I need to learn how to embed these things.

He was laid to rest along side our road for the young bald eagles to eat, then after they picked him clean, was going to do a little forensic/ballistic research on him to find the bullet. Damn coyotes snatched it during the night. Gone by daybreak this morning.
Had he stayed across the road in the timber chuckin' wood, he'd still be drawing breath as I write this
. Finally, some cool(er), less humid air this afternoon to give us a break from the jungle like heat and humidity. We're not short on rain so everything is still lush and green. View looking in the direction I shoot, just counting the days for that corn to disappear. From the deck this evening...
