We want to thank the American Legion and special thanks to Betty KornKven for providing us with the facility and gaming license for the Calcutta. A portion of the money raised will be going towards the Luke Oyloe Scholarship fund. We will be awarding a $1500 scholarship each year to a Trinity Christian School student in Luke Oyloe’s name. This year’s scholarship recipient is Mitchell Kvernan, Mitchell had to provide a 1000 word essay on coyote hunting and participate in the tournament to be eligible for the scholarship. Congratulations Mitchell!
I want to thank Dave Guttormson (bucknbears) for bringing some amazing bear chili. I was thanking you all the way home Dave..............8 hours............
Thanks also to Foxpro, and Varmint Hunter Association for the doorprizes. Both of these groups are there every year supporting us and many other tournaments throughout the Midwest.
We did have a couple of teams that had there coyotes DQ this year. This seems to happen more at new tournaments were guys just are not that familiar with the format we use. We do not lump all these teams in the same bunch. We adhere to the rules to the letter. This was a great group of guys and a couple of teams just made some procedurial mistakes with the blocks. Jason and Dan Arnson brought in 7 coyotes for the day and we had to DQ all of them. They had everything else right even went as for as putting there initials on the blocks and caliber. Just no team numbers. Rules are rules, tough break though. I would assume that they will not make that mistake again. We hope to see everyone again next year and would be very happy to have them enter any of our tournaments again in the future.
