 In case you wondered why I didn’t put the winners of last week’s Mid-KY Bass Anglers Tournament, there’s a simple explanation.

As I was writing my mind got side-tracked and I forgot. Oh, I could have come up with something that would’ve been believable. But, those who know me know I am, at best, a little “flighty”, so just saying “I forgot” is still the most believable.

Anyway, I forgot!

Sunday, March 23, was the first tournament for the Mid-KY Bass Anglers 2014 season.

The turnout was good with 10 boats and 19 anglers. One guy fishing by himself gave us the odd number of anglers.

Not bad for a tournament held on a frigid March day! It was bitter cold, but it neither rained nor snowed, so we didn’t complain “too” much.

 We had an interesting time at the Kiwanis Auction Sunday. Not only did everyone participating have a good time, we raised about $4,700 that’ll go back toward programs for our Marion County kids.

I’d like to thank everyone who worked, bought stuff and especially those who donated items, cash and goods to make our auction a success.

It’s merely “put on” by the Kiwanis Club. The money we raise isn’t ours, it’s the kids.

 This past week, while getting my coyote hunting stuff organized, I had an epiphany. OK, epiphany is a sudden realization or comprehension. Anyway, I had one!

There are a lot of calves born right now. Calves are money on the hoof. Nobody likes losing their money.

Coyotes like to eat newborn calves thus taking a farmer’s money. I, and some friends, like to shoot coyotes. Dead coyotes can’t eat your calves, or deer or quail, songbirds, dogs, cats, etc.
