Heritage Outfitters Nebraska COYOTE HUNTERS KILL WOLF IN KANSAS Coyote hunters have killed a wolf in northwest Kansas, the first documented wolf in the state since TOPEKA, Kan. (AP) - Coyote hunters have killed a wolf in northwest Kansas, the first documented wolf in the state since The Topeka Capital-Journal reports that the wolf was killed in December. The animal weighed more than 80 pounds, more than twice as much as a large coyote. A Kansas Department of Wildlife, Parks and Tourism game warden contacted U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service agents. The federal officials confirmed through tissue testing that the animal was a full-blooded Great Lakes gray wolf. Officials say there have been several wolves killed in Missouri, most recently in November. IT IS BACK!!! THE RMR BRAIN TEASER Last week's question: After the Lone Ranger saved the day and rode off into the sunset, the grateful citizens would ask, Who was that masked man? Invariably, someone would answer, I don't know, but he left this behind. What did he leave behind? ANSWER: A Sliver Bullet Winner of a Rocky Mountain Roosters pullover: Mary Lee Van Dyke This weeks question: What was the name of your FIRST hunting dog? Or the name of FIRST hunting dog you hunted with that wasn't your own? (Not a trick question!!) We will pick four winners for $30 coupons towards a full auto detail from Renew My Auto and Tony Liddle. Send your answer to hunt@rmroosters.com

7 MR E-News Feb 11--Quarterly but TIMELY of 8 2/11/ :31 AM BE CAREFUL!! We have had reports of several Mountain Lion sightings and reports of cats killing dogs on the western side of Colorado Springs. This picture was taken a couple of days ago inside a gated area near the Broadmoor. Stay alert. Carry a handgun when you are walking the dog! Cats are looking for food, and with the dry winter, the deer are out eating in the neighborhoods everyday. TWO FOR THE ROAD An executive was interviewing a young woman for a position in his company. He wanted to learn something about her personality, so he asked, "if you could have a conversation with anyone, living or dead, who would it be?" She quickly responded, "The living one." An obnoxious drunk stumbles into the front door of a bar and orders a drink, the bartender says, "No way buddy you're too drunk." A few minutes later the drunk comes in through the bathrooms, again he slurs, "give me a drink", bartender says "No man I told you last time you're too drunk" Five minutes later the guy comes in through the back door and orders a drink, again
