Young People In Coyote Tournament

[Tom7227]

I took part in a tourney out west last Saturday.  At the bar during the pay out I was surprised at the number of young people involved.  There seemed to be at least 25% of the crowd that looked under 25 and one table full that clearly were under 21 (no beers).  Is this typical?  I keep reading about the increased age of hunters so I wonder if the coyote thing is an oddity.

I have never heard of this before. So TOM7227 tell me more about this.

I have heard of places having a coyote hunt competition over night before.

teams pay an entry fee. Go out and hunt over night, and meet back up . Payout is based on how many coyotes shot. Can also receive money or prizes for biggest or smallest yote taken.

Coyote – the coyote market continues its strength, bucking the trend of most other furs. The higher quality pale western coyotes are holding their high price, though eastern dogs have taken a bit of a drop recently. Western coyotes should average $50-75, with Eastern goods bringing around $20-30.

That’ll buy some fuel and bullets.

If you want to take the time to skin and flesh the pelt properly, you could send it to a tannery to have it tanned.  Some people will pay $100 or more for a nice coyote pelt just to hang on the wall.
