Competition coyote hunt

[Snowwalker]

We downed a deer in this years controlled hunt @ last light. We gave the deer the usual 1hr to expire as we usually do. When we found the deer the Coyotes ate one hind quarter. Gone are the days of backing out & coming back in the morning if it was a questionable shot. The deer will be consumed by the varmints by morning.

I will be back to my bush in January to take care of that problem...

Wife and I were at Hullet on Sunday..there were turkey feathers and kill sites all over the place.
Saw a ladder stand and only 30 to 50 yards away was a dead doe..killed just hours before I found it.
I think I pushed the coyotes off their kill because some of the chewed places looked very fresh.

I think this is a great contest.
Our group would love to join in on this but its a 3 hour drive which shortens our hunting time and makes the contest unfair to us southern boys.
Our experience has been that "hunters" enter contest and you get road shooters and "hunters" baiting coyotes to fatten them up for contest.
Again just the facts because where moneys involved people cheat.

We will be advertising in the local shops shortly. We are currently just finishing up the advertisement and making sure we have all the rules in order. One thing we have added since I posted this is that no off-road vehicles can be used to harvest the coyotes. All coyotes must be taken legally. There will be more boys around shelburne area talking this up shortly as now the Barton boys are in on it as well

Just so everyone knows. We are not supplying land for people to hunt. This is fair game to anyone that has permission for land. Getting a lot of questions about how we will get everyone spread out on the land to hunt. If they need to get permission to hunt on land in dufferin county and so on. This is not a free for all in dufferin county. You must have permission to hunt any land any time. Not just for this hunt so don't treat this hunt any different.

What do you do if PETA shows up ? Do you have a spokesman to speak on your behalf ?

[highvalley]

Not sure how PETA will show up. If they do it will only because someone in the tourny gives out the location of the hunt. Only people that are putting a team in will know about this.

Valid question. I'm not against this contest but it's always wise to cover all your bases just in case.
