EDITORIAL
That’s a Big Buck!
I
love this time of year. It’s fall, big bucks and big bulls are hitting the
ground, and the next wave of King’s Calendars are available for the new
year. It’s quite the accomplishment to compile 36 new record heads and
bring them back to life in a custom re-creation process each year. The greatest
reward is being able to work with some of the nicest people who are the faces
behind the amazing animals that we feature. Some are seasoned hunters with
a trophy room all of us would admire, while others are the everyday Joe who
happened upon the once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to bag a buck or bull of
their dreams...and mine. It’s a pleasure to be a part of the amazing mule deer,
elk and whitetail deer that we assemble each year and feature in a way that
only King’s can.
The Robert Arledge buck is truly one of those bucks that just make
you go, “Wow.” We have assembled an entire group of animals that have
that wow factor for our new 2008 King’s Calendars. In this issue, we have
given you a peek at the best of what our new calendars have to offer. A 300inch
mule deer, a 290-class whitetail deer and a 434 typical elk. I would say
that these animals are the cream of the crop and the epitome of what many
of us dream to accomplish. Since most of us won’t be able to achieve the
heights that these hunters have, we can enjoy their trophies each and every
month along with them. Our Behind the Re-creations feature in the magazine
allows us to go deeper than what you will fi nd in the calendars and gives you
the story and photos of these amazing animals along with our custom recreation.
We have mixed things up a bit with this issue and assembled a cool
cover story on the craze of coyote hunting. I know that after many of you
are done chasing your dream buck or bull, you are out calling in those wiley
coyotes and getting hooked. Here is a taste to help get you going and also a
look at some of our awesome Snow and Desert Shadow Camoufl age that is,
without a doubt, the most effective camo on the market for predator hunting.
So, buy a calendar for you, then a calendar for your buddy for Christmas, and
realize that women love the Snow Shadow just as much as us guys, so use that
to your advantage and remember just how much you love this time of year.
