Thanks for the post!

That is an awesome mount! Thanks for posting!

Ernesto, What ammo are you shooting in your .22mag?

Blake that is a big dog! Looks like it was just out of PV. It seems like all the coyotes I call up here are pretty small. All of the bigger ones are down south. Anyway..... cool pic and story, thanks for sharing. P.S If you want to be cool like me and Josh you have to hold them up with only 1 hand while you take the picture.

Still up for sale

We had over 600 pics of elk in 3 weeks. I just hope they stay around during the archery hunt.

That looks like a pretty big bear! Thanks for posting

Thanks Ernesto! Actually the Taxidermist is my wife. She is just starting out, and hasn't done a lot of mounts yet. Some are better than others, but for some reason I really like this one, so I kept him in my den. Do you have any pics of that 45 pounder? That is a whopper for an Az yote! When I skinned this one he had lots of fat on him, which made him harder to flesh and mount. Here are a couple of pics of this one when I called him in.

Thanks for the info! I wasn't sugesting that we have 50lb coyotes, I was just saying I hear people say they kill them all the time, and that is what made me curious. All of mine range from 15 at the smallest to 38 at the largest. Average I would think is 25lbs. The picture I used for the taxidermist to use as a reference was of an alert coyote. Several people have said he looks too "surprised", but to me he looks pretty natural. I guess i see a lot of surprised coyotes. At any rate... I am happy with it, and that is what matters. Thanks for the nice comments guys!

Im over by Prescott, but would be willing to ship it if you are interested.

I started weighing them a long time ago just for fun. I keep hearing about all these 50 and 60lb coyotes, but I have yet to kill one. Out of more than 50 coyotes 38lbs is the biggest so far.

That fox looks great! I am pretty sure there is a thread with pics of that mount, look back a few pages

Not sure what Winchester you are looking at, but Cabelas had a few used Winchester Coyote lites. I really like those rifles. I think they were in teh $400.00 range

I really like my Dead Coyote choke. It shoots a lot better than the Dead Dog I tried, but all guns are different. If you look a few pages down, I posted some pattern testing I did a while back. Best thing you can do is buy it and try it out. If you can spare the extra cash, but 2 or 3 different tubes and try them all. Good Luck! BTW The Bargin Cave at Cabelas had a ton of tubes a few weeks ago.

+1 on a good pad, they can make a huge difference!

nice story. thanks for posting

Awesome pics! thanks!

We had 166 elk pics this last week. Here are a few.

Wife and I drew 19a. Can't wait for October!

We went out and checked the cameras this weekend. We had 263 pictures of game animals off of 2 cameras since mid June. I think I finally found a spot to put my treestand for the archery cow hunt. Both cameras took over 2000 pictures with all the wind, so the batteries went dead last week. Here are a few of the pics.
