Heading to the Coyote Classic
January 13th, 2006 David King - King's Outdoor World
Travelling from Utah to North Dakota in the middle of January usually doesn’t produce the best in road conditions. Hunting Illustrated Predator Editor Travis Osmond is currently on the road right now slowly making his way to the North Dakota Coyote Classic held in Dickinson, ND at the Days Inn. There was a big storm that came through Wedesday night that is making travelling conditions the pits.
I just talked to Travis on his cell phone a few minutes ago and he told me how they closed down I-80 east of Rock Springs and west of Wamsutter about 6 p.m. yesterday. He had to turn back and spend the night in Rock Springs, WY. He is on his way again this morning hoping that the road conditions hold up so he can make his destination.
Travis is on schedule to to do a coyote seminar either Friday night or Saturday night (it depends when he can finally get there). So if you are heading to the Coyote Classic in ND, check out Travis’ seminar - he does a great job.
UPDATE: Sorry everyone, but Travis is coming home. I just talked to him and he said the roads are horrible. There is about a 60 mile stretch with nothing but semi-trucks parked off the side of the road because they can’t continue. He has been going about 15 mph for the past five hours. Sorry for all of you who were expecting Travis at the show. We will try again next year.

[…] Last week our Predator Editor Travis Osmond was on his way to the North Dakota Coyote Classic to do some seminars. Unfortunately due to the extremely slick roads and slow going through Wyoming, he ended up turning around and coming home. […]

I am not sure what days he was up there but we ran in to some very bad weather and snow . Our Chevy Duramamax crew cab had no problem going any where. Being a four wheeler for most of my life the snow does not stop us, it only represents another challenge.
