Hi guys,
The invitation is open to one and all... The 2010 Mr. Coyote contest will be held at The Varmint Hunters rifle range in Fort Pierre, S.D. Sept. 18, 2010. Below is all info needed on rules and what not. We will also allow people to camp at the range to help offset the expense of travel, if you so desire. We don’t have showers, but we do have indoor facilities with hot/cold water and toilets that flush.

Come test your skills or just visit with many people who share the same sickness of Coyote Hunting...

Any questions, feel free to contact me.

Thanks
Jeff.

Here you go guys, a second chance to get the title!!!!! Cooler weather hopefully.

It would be a blast!

Levi it will be!!

I think it may be the most real life, well rounded coyote hunting contest in the U.S. Other than actually calling in and killing coyotes " and that could happen on the range" it covers all aspects of the sport in a manner I have not seen in other contests.

Usually its just the calling and no shooting here it is going to be both. It will be a title to wear proudly.

Good luck to everyone! let us know the results, especially the results of any members of this site!

Hey Boys,

Just a quick reminder... this weekend is the Mr. Coyote contest. Load up the guns and grab your calls... Weather looks good for Saturday... come on out and watch or try you luck at the running coyote.

Hope to see you here!

Later,
Jeff.
