Results guys !!!

Im sure when jamie gets time he will post the final results. There were 6 coyotes shot and i think there were around 10 teams there. Two coyotes won the tournament and were called and shot as a pair on the first stand. I will let jamie post names. Levi and i had the worst day we have ever had in North Dakota hunting coyotes. We only saw one that was bedded and wasn't able to get em. That was the only coyote we saw and the only tracks sawn were his/hers. The snow was so deep that with snow shoes on it was knee deep in some areas and if you took the snow shoes off it was nut deep and you had to walk with your knees through the snow . Any one of you tell me you like the snow again it will be on at the classic I feel the snow is what hurt us in this tournament. I dont think they wanted to exert that much energy into coming to a distresses animal.

Well widen up them snowshoes Lyonch because out west here is no better in fact snow warning tonight for another 6 inches.

Daryl is there a crust formed on the snow yet or is it all powder and fluff yet??

Some of the old stuff is crust but the last couple storms we got it's all powder. So you will sink to your nuts then hit the crust

Lyonch,

You basically summed up the entire day for us too. I didn't even see a track! my partner saw one set. That was the entire day. I didn't do much on Sunday except sleep in. We went to spots that we had confirmed coyotes from before. zip, zero, zilch! They just weren't moving, to much fluffy snow plain and simple.

that much snow makes hunting a bitch!!!! I am still sore today.... I absolutely hate snow!!!

Someone that likes this much snow, please explain to me why?

Yeah out west its deep too. We limited out on pheasants the day after Christmas (north of bismarck) but had to work for them. Most were in farm steads trees and since I'm 29 and my father in law is 60 I got to walk thru the mid theigh snow so he could shoot them. It was fun. Suck it up you pansies!

Oh and I shot my three too.

I am not afraid to work for a coyote but when it comes to the point when it is cold as hell and they wont even respond to a call it is not worth wading through nut deep snow trying to be on LOCATION!! I dont care what shape your in or how old someone is; when they tell me that they love the deep snow and tell me to suck it up i will flat out tell them they can kiss my A$$ your fricken human and you have a brain that can process thoughts and think logically thats why your on top of the food chain. Dont be a dumba$$ and tell everyone that you enjoy hunting in nut deep snow. I suppose the next story i will hear is some guy ran down a coyote in that deep of snow and got him!! If i only coyote hunted 2 to 3 times a year and had to put up with that much snow then i wouldn't mind it, but when it comes to hunting coyotes every weekend in the winter it will take a toll on anyone both physically and mentally. If there is some type of a crust formed or it is packed snow then snow shoes work awesome. So if you hunt coyotes more than 2 to 3 weekends a year and shoot more than 5 a year give me one good reason why you love that deep of snow and i will quit bitching about how i hate snow and you can tell me to suck it up all you want. Oh and by the way what happen to hunting smarter not harder

Lyonch were you not hugged enough as a child?

Geez are you going to be ok!?

I have 4 for the year so after I get my next one I will tell you to suck it up again! LOL

Thats by choice for you!! Im not out hunting for shits and giggles. Im out to try to win tournaments. I told my fiance the day we met that in the fall and winter i hunt every opportunity that exists and that if she didn't like it then she can go find someone else.

Daryl i would have loved to see your winnie the pooh figure rolling throught that snow this past weekend!!

enjoy it while you can that will change when you have little ones!

Well you saw Levi didn't you. Pretty sure I would look the same.
