Just off, but just over 1/4 mile off.
Oh yeah, it'd be OK - being over 1/4 mile from Hwy 16's centre line. Might only need to be 400yards. I can't remember.
That was quite a rifle.

Les Hatfield had the big idea to raise sheep. Les Hawkes told him, "you can't raise sheep here you (*&^$%#@ - too many coyotes" - that was in the fall of about 1975.

Come late spring '76, the coyotes taught their pups to kill sheep - all of them (30 or so) in one night, they ate none of them, just killing.
