McDonicI Uncovers
16 Coyote Pups
From Den on Range
Carl McDaniel, known In
Morrow county for his exploits
as a hunter, uncovered 16
coyote pups Monday from a
den on the range of Shirley
Rugg's sheep operation In the
northern part of the county.
This Is the most pups he
has ever found in one den and
believes it to be a record
number. Seven Is an average
litter. McDaniel said.
Tve found 12. 13 and 11.
but never 16 before," he add
ed The hunter, who Is working
for Mrs. Kuggs on the cattle
part of her operation, is devot
ing only part time to hunting
predators at the present.
He believes that all of the
pups are from the same moth
er since thev were In the
game den. A dog aided In ex
tricating the animals and suf
fered a healthy bite from ona
of the pups.
'Their teeth are like fish
hooks and are sharp as a ra
zor." McDaniel said.
He spotted a female In the
area and this led him to
search for the den. McDaniel
wasn't able to bag the moth
er. Mrs. Rugg has four band of
sheep and coyotes have been
taking a toll In three of them.

senior Peterson retired and the
brothers entered into a working
agreement with Mr. and Mrs.
Holmes Gabbert for the Gab
bert Ranch. The Gabbert ranch
is now leased.
They feel that a great deal
of credit for the progress they
have made in putting conserva

Vioir lanrilnrHc thf Gabbert
family, who are conservation
minded.
Their father, Henry, was one
of the early prime movers in
the organization of the Heppner
Conservation District. He was
appointed to the first board by
