Welcome YellerDog, What you win is getting to hang out with these guys. But thats a pretty good prize. There is more good knowledge and less drivel here than anywhere on the net. Leonard runs a 1st class place.

Cal Taylor,
That does sound like a fantastic prize. Everyone was wanting a prize there, so I thought I may as well jump in!

You guys are greedy! “What do I win, what do I win?” Sheesh! Hows a bout a brand new Krusty Krier call? Or a $20 donation to John Kerry’s election campaign? LOL I think Bryan nailed it. It was about 40lbs and I think I even shot it in January. Can’t remember if it was in 97 though but it dang sure could have been.
Good hunting.

I knew I posted it before but I wasn’t sure where. I was about ready to e-mail you for some lottery numbers. LOL Ya, this is a pretty good place to hang out. If we get board we just pick on Krusty. Krusty is like a proverbial case of the herpes. Just when you think he is gone you get another annoying outbreak. LOL
Good hunting.

Speaking of pockets... I'm a believer.
For several years, I weighed every coyote I killed, and most of the ones others killed while I was hunting with them. Like Byron said, my scales aren't exactly "certified", just a fish scale, but they give me a reference that is good enough for my purposes. Don't weigh many anymore, as I learned what I was looking to learn. But, anyway... In almost all of the places I hunt, 30 pounds is a pretty big coyote. One "area" I hunt though, they definitely run bigger. Most adults go 30 pounds or more there, with the biggest I have taken being 37 pounds. A 1 - 2 hour hiway run puts me back in the 24 - 28 pound adults. They look identical, to me, except for the size. Best as I can tell, they all eat about the same too (from the year I cut open stomachs...). If I had to guess, I'd guess that the smaller variety I get most everywhere are Mearns, and the big boys are Mountain. But I wouldn't bet anything on me being right about that, as I really don't know. My only point being, these larger coyotes exist in what I'd call a "pocket", and I've always thought it kind of interesting.
I get what I consider to be credible reports of coyotes over 40 pounds from Nevada every once in awhile too. All killed by the same guy, or members of his party. One of them, from about five years ago, went 52 pounds. I'd believe the guy, just on his word, but he also sent me video of that one, and it sure looks all of 50 to me. Bryan also knows the guy I'm talking about.

Q,
"...like ...the herpes"
Now that was a good burn! ![-](http://texaspredatorposse.ipbhost.com/html/emoticons/bowingsmilie.gif) I 'bout fell out my chair laughing!!!
Nice catch there, yersef, Bryan J... I thought I'd seen that giant canid before, too.
And actually I don't think you have a Krusty Kriers call yet, that I remember... I'd be proud to give ya the prize Q has offered up. A really sweet english walnut, open reed call just became available today... I had made an open reed and a closed reed not knowing which the guy would choose... he chose the closed reed. I'll voice it like a jackrabbit, being dragged down a gravel road, and you can try it on yer desert dogs.

Krusty, I will send you an e-mail. Thank you. I’m surprised you didn’t let me know that I said “I knew” twice. LOL
I know who you are talking about Dave, and I would take his word for gold. I have seen a pelt that he still has hanging in the fur-shed that was killed by his son. I can’t remember what he said it weighed but the stretched and dried pelt was huge in comparison to the rest of his fur. He had to build a special stretcher for that one.

Wished I would have had a scale for this one. To bad the hide was rubbed also.

Bryan J,
"I knew that I knew"... I believe, that I believe, that that is what you meant to say! Hehehe
I really am not the Spaling Peleece... it was just the way "defiantly coyotes" came out, that had me in stitches. And I figured someone might appreciate the joke in it, I certainly did.
Well guys, no more jokes, no teasing, no posting... I am going back into the lurker mode. Sorry for any ruffled feathers, or hurt feelings.
