Why is it better to shoot a male than a female?

Got a bunch of rules and registration forms up to Grizzly Gary's store today. Stop down and pick one up or print on from here. You can mail them in or Garry will take them at the store. Happy hunting guys/gals.

I have got 8 guys in our hunting group signed up for the coyote hunt now. They ran a big one on Saturday and it took them about 35 miles and they still was unable to shoot it. By the size of the track it was a big coyote. We may go back to the area this weekend and see if we can get the dogs to run it again.

im signed up i will be solo just hope i can get one in the trap during this time if not i will be out with the foxpro calling

I am just curious...why is the emphasis being put on shooting male coyotes? Or I should say... Why does sex even matter?

I believe this is the first contest where I saw a differentiation of sex of the dog, just curious what the thought process was. Are males always heavier than females? Was this just a way to spread the money around a little more?

Thanks.

Ummm... i think gary better do a better job proof reading... It says the start date will be friday at 12:01am... that actually means the people can hunt all day friday.. I think you meant saturday morning at 12:01am...

I thought the $2.00 heaviest female was for the heaviest female applicant.. LOL. j/k

Uber that is right we can hunt all day friday im just hoping the weather is ok for it

So for the guys that will be trapping........Do the traps have to set on the day the contest starts??????? How would you regulate the guys that have been trapping coyotes and having sets out prior to the contest???????

Don't think it matters they just pretty much want them dead.The Mosquito Creek hunt always wait until trapping season is over,that way it just strictly hunting.That way guys cant catch them and keep them alive,there is a lot of money on the line.Top dog usually fetches $6,000+ most years.

Well i read the flyer that waldorf posted on the first post and it says that the tournament is Saturday Jan 28th and Sunday Jan 29th.. so something aint right

talk to gary yesterday the tourny starts on friday at 1201 AM and goes to sunday and the part that says heavest male get 50% and so on that is a wrong he told me it is heavest dog gets 50% and then 2nd and 3rd heavest. he said he will go over that at the Shoe

OK so I am stupid! I don't know what I was thinking when I wrote up the rules. It is indeed the heaviest yote male or female. Sorry to cause the confusion. Never put on a yote hunt before. We said 1st year would be a learning year.

You can begin to hunt at 12:01 tonight.

Do you have any other questions Uber? If so please ask when you stop in to sign up. LOL!

Anybody with questions and suggestions are free to call me. 814-705-6625 Thanks and good luck to all!

does it count if we hit one with a truck???? If so Gary can I borrow your truck???

Good luck with the hunt guys........keep us posted. I think it's really cool how you guys in PA are so active putting on coyote hunts.

well i just got back in form a long wet night put on many stands and all i called in was 2 fox but did not get a shot at them. yes i know it a yote tourny but fox is in season so weather its a yote or a fox i will try to put them down. i still have to run and check my traps then to bed. just hope this rain turns into snow by late this afternoon im heading back out around 4 till tomorrow morning

Certainly not the best weather for yote hunting. Calling for snow showers Saturday & Sunday. Best of luck to all who are hunting!

just got back up and its starting to spit snow here ill be heading out the door about an hour befor dark for the night hope tonight is going to be a good night

Any wet, cold, stinky yotes yet?
