Title: Looking for good coyote scales!
Post by: Teamroper on June 08, 2010, 12:12:21 PM
I am looking for a good set of scales (electronic preferred) that I can carry in my backpack that doesn't weigh a ton and is farily small but accurate. I want it strictly to weigh coyotes, foxes and bobcats. Is there such a thing? :shrug:

I use a Rapala fish scale. It is digital, fairly small and measures up to fifty pounds in pounds & ounces, pounds & tenths, or kilograms and tenths. About $25 or so.

I think the ones we use are Berkly and go to 50 also I believe. Compact and batteries can last several seasons.

Anything over 50 we bring them to the shed to weigh on the cotton scales. Anything under 30 we hide. :laf:
