Owner dies, coyote needs adopting

[farmerjohn]

Close friend of mine of 50+ years had a cousin that passed on, no family other than my Bud and left everything to him. Guy was in his 80s, always made good money, invested it well and never spent much foolishly, left my Bud a nice brick home, new F150 4X4 Lariat, 20 or more firearms and probably a literal ton of ammo, (two "squatted") half ton PU loads. After he gets it sorted out I'm going to help him sell it on this site. Anyway the guy had this ratty old coyote mount that my Bud hated, said anywhere in the room you went the dang thing was starring at you. This morning on his way home he sets it on the bridge rail crossing the Ouachita River coming over to the farm and sits and watches. First truck goes by and screeches to a stop, slowly backs up and looks, slowly gets out and eased up to it and reads the sign, shakes his head and goes back gets in the truck and starts to leave, stops again gets out and picks him up and puts him in the truck and leaves. My Bud is taking bets on how long it takes for it to be all over "farcebook" . I'm depending on him to tell me what happens because at 77 I have never seen or opened it up and have no plans to.

Anyways I thought it was funny, John

Nice story John...We all need friends like that.
The other part of the story.......It would be rather funny if he came and put the Yote back on the bridge in a week or two with a different note for some Yahoo....

Love it, good one John!

Be more fun to set it out a 100 yards in an open field and watch to see how many guys puts a round through it.

Would make a great decoy, till gas and human scent got all over it.

I’ve killed 93 in the last 3 years. Dang, I could use that for a good decoy!

I would have stopped AND taken it home, in the front seat.
