As most of you know by now, after years of frustration, our beloved Krusty has wacked his first coyote.

Trophies like this don't come along often, and if there's any critter Krusty should ever hang on the wall or stand in the corner, it's this one.

So... I'm announcing "The Krusty Taxidermy Fund," to help him get the thing embalmed by a proper taxidermist.

I'm donating the first $20.00 to help Krusty pay for his mount, and I challenge all other members of Huntmastersbbs to pitch in and help.

Who's in with me?

where do we send the funds??

Posted by The Outdoor Tripp (Member # 619) on November 07, 2007, 06:16 PM:

I'm thinking directly to Krusty. As he is still in the bush, obviously chasing down Coyote #2, I'm sure he can provide an address when the time comes. [Smile]

Who's in?

Posted by Leonard (Member # 2) on November 07, 2007, 06:58 PM:

What guarantee do we have that he won't spend it on frivolous stuff like food and shelter?

Okay I'm on a fixed income, but I can prolly donate a few bucks for such a worthy cause.

Good hunting. LB

Hell, Leonard, I'm on a fixed income, too. I can only spend as much as the federal government pays me. Pretty much like you old farts. [Wink]

Posted by Leonard (Member # 2) on November 07, 2007, 09:15 PM:

Lance, I thought this one of you and Krusty was his first one? Remember, you sent it to me some time back?

I crack myself up, sometimes!

I thought that Krusty killed that coyote by accident. Hit it with his bicycle, that was the rumor. [Wink]

Since I am new here and don't know all the details I will take guidance thru fellow trusted callers, if this proves worthy. I will go pick up cans and pledge to help. [Big Grin]

Fixed income... oh heck yea... I fix the checkbook all the time to make it look like we spent more money than we actually did... hide an extra $20.00 here and there. Count me in! [Wink]

I think Krusty would be lookin good in coyote head mountain man hat...........I'll send a buck or three.....Kelly

Posted by tlbradford (Member # 1232) on November 08, 2007, 10:49 AM:

I can donate to this cause. Krusty may want to put up this hide himself to make it all the more meaningful. Either way it should be a trophy to enjoy for a lifetime.

Can't you just see Krusty at age 70, retelling the saga to a bunch of kids, on how he got his first coyote.

Posted by Rich (Member # 112) on November 08, 2007, 07:54 PM:

tlbradford,
Yep I can see it already. Well son, I was coasting down this here mountain skid trail when my brakes failed. As I rounded a sharp bend in the trail, my front tire hit a danged ole coyote---- [Smile]

Posted by Cdog911 (Member # 7) on November 09, 2007, 04:01 AM:

Leonard,

I don't recall every having hunted with K. That picture must be a fraud.

Posted by Leonard (Member # 2) on November 09, 2007, 07:50 AM:

What? Fraud? How can you say that? If it is, it's the best doctored photo I've ever seen?

Posted by Rich (Member # 112) on November 09, 2007, 09:55 AM:

Krusty looks a little pale in the photo, but I'm pretty sure it is authentic alright. [Wink]

Posted by KevinKKaller (Member # 559) on November 10, 2007, 05:08 PM:

I am in Let me know whear and when to send
I still want to see photos
Good Hunting Kevin

Posted by TRnCO (Member # 690) on November 10, 2007, 06:36 PM:

I've thought about this and have come to the conclusion that since I rarely donate to any cause, my wife usually takes care of that, I could kick in on this one. Can't think of a better cause!
Can't wait to hear the story from Krusty! Hope he got pictures, might be some doubters in the crowd! [Eek!]

Posted by bowjunkie (Member # 887) on November 10, 2007, 08:00 PM:

its fer a good cause I can fork out a 20 spot as well [Big Grin]

Posted by ninthinning (Member # 900) on November 11, 2007, 05:45 AM:

OK this is my donation, a $20 moose antler main beam turned into a predator call:

I don't know what to say, you guys are alright. [Smile]

If there is any question as to "where the money goes", I'd be glad to let a second party hold the funds and forward them directly to the taxidermy shop.

I chose a sitting mount for my coyote, so he might be useful as a calling decoy.

After all the chances I have had to lie, I'd hope nobody would call into question the validity of my claim.
If they do, I have photos (as soon as my film is done). But they are no proof, as seen in the de-faced photo, above. [Wink]

The story isn't much to tell, despite the amount of time it took me to finally succeed, and will wait until the photos come back.

Thanks again, for your generosity, friendship, and support.
Without which, I NEVER would have reached my goal.

I feel kind of weird, having been made into a charity case, and then left to go around hat in hand, collecting.

But I signed on the dotted line, so I need to get it taken care of.

I'll send out a mass e-mail to those of you who have pledged to help, with my address.

Just like actually killing my first coyote, I couldn't have had it stuffed without all of you helping me.

Thanks again,

Krusty

P.S. I'll be contacting a few of you regarding other deals, calls, beaver pelts, etc. as well.
