2nd place - Roger Schofield/Kent Lewis - 9 coyotes, 265.4 lbs
3rd place - Earl Hipke/Marty Neilan - 9 coyotes, 230.0 lbs
4th place - Spencer Cordes/Andy Moon - 8 coyotes, 232.8 lbs

Good god that is a pile of coyotes!!! Did anyone from the site hunt this tournament? Im curious how the hunt went for them. We need some stories and pics to go with this topic

Man big dog was a BIG dog, and little dog was tiny!!! LOL

That is a pile of yotes! I take it the weather must of been really good!!!! Hope everyone had fun, I would love to come down and hunt one of your tournaments, one of these years

Conditions must have been right wow!!

Yes it was ideal conditionns for most of the day, those hunting north of town had wind issues in the midafternoon. The weather before the tournament was cold and windy and not letting up til the night before. The coyotes had been hunkered down for three days and were ready to play.

The teams that got into them hunted for the most part north and west of town most 50-100 miles out, a few a bit farther, out of boats on the river up north to the reservations both north and south.

One thing about this tournament, I have since 03 been the JUDGE LOL!!! not a real big deal, let me tell ya!! But it goes a smooth and as fairly as I have ever seen a calling contest go. Jeff may remember an issue but i don't ever remember an arguement or a disputed coyote or coyotes in this deal.

The first year i remember a guy bringing in a coyote with a snare still on it and couldn't wait to tell me how it was on it when he shot it and he left it there to show us. It just dam near runs itself at weigh in and even the pictures of each group and their coyotes doesn't slow it down.

Jeff and the whole VHA staff just cowboy up and get it done. It has always been a pleasure to be associated and a member of this organization and they can be very proud of this event.

WELL DONE

soudns like a fun one to be in, using boats to get into roadless areas sounds neat!! This years tournament season sure is getting off to a great start with lots being harvested ("SHOT") and the weather is soooo different than last years season of getting stuck, 30 plus mph winds etc,etc....hats off to you guys on a great tourny

Ya the boats thing does sound pretty cool.

Any idea when this contest will be this year? I can't seem to find any info on it.

The dates for this year will be Dec 11th with the rules meeting on the 10th. Our video calling contest will be the following weekend on the 18th with rules meeting on the 17th.

Hope to see you here.

Jeff.
