The Utah Tracker: One in 10 Million

"It is not the critic who counts: not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles or where the doer of deeds could have done better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood, who strives valiantly, who errs and comes up short again and again, because there is no effort without error or shortcoming, but who knows the great enthusiasms, the great devotions, who spends himself for a worthy cause; who, at the best, knows, in the end, the triumph of high achievement, and who, at the worst, if he fails, at least he fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who knew neither victory nor defeat." ---Theodore Roosevelt 1910

One in 10 Million

While hunting jack rabbits up the canyon near the Sand Ledges,we spotted this black as coal jack rabbit. Brody hit it in the foot and we tracked it up and I was able to finish it off. I later checked into things and learned this is a rare melanistic mutation which is far more rare than an albino rabbit. I am not sure just how rare but a biologist told me its one in millions.
