Coyote Bustin Before Work
October 25th, 2005 David King - King's Outdoor World
I got a phone call this morning about 8:25 a.m. from Travis Osmond (predator editor and marketing guy here at King’s Outdoor World) telling me he was going to be a little late coming in to work. He continued to tell me that he was sitting about 500 yards from two coyotes feeding on a dead sheep. He got a phone call early this morning from one of the local ranchers. Apparently there was a pair of coyotes that went on a feeding binge over the last couple of days and so far several sheep had been killed.
Travis is always on the lookout to help with any dog catching duties if it means being able to put down a coyote. Of course he always has his trusty .22-250 within reach at all times. After watching these coyotes feed on the dead mutton, he and a buddy went in for the stalk. His buddy went around and after some time, there were some shots and the coyotes started bustin’ out of there. On a dead run at 150 yards, Travis knocked him down with an off-hand shot. He almost pulled off a double with the second dog…let’s just say that coyote will be limping on three legs for a long time.
If anyone asked how our new King’s Mountain Shadow works for hunting coyotes. I think the photo speaks for itself. You never know what you will find coming into work here at King’s Outdoor World.
