I already sent her to the taxidermists so I cant weigh her. My buddy was asking how much she weighed and I was trying to guess. I know its hard to tell from a pic but I was guessing around 40 lbs. I am 6'4" and 245 lbs. What do you guys think?

Nice sized coyote, marked up pretty well, winter coat looks good and thick too. Without a good scale it's just a WAG (could go near 40 pounds) but I would estimate some where around 30-32. :shrug:
A trophy in anyone's book! :wink:
When I was handling livestock feed in 25, 50 and 100 lb. sacks every day, I was good at estimating weight of things I picked up. Not so much anymore. I'd trust your guess from lifting it much more than mine eyeballing a photo. It looks slightly smaller than a 35 lb. one I weighed awhile back, but photos are so inexact that I would not put money on the guess! Big chest on that one.
I don't know either. It does have a big chest. Real slim waist after that tho. The white tip on the tail is way cool too. Very nice coyote. Congratulations!!!! :yoyo: :yoyo:
hidehunter i would think your about right with the 40 lb
My guess would be around 35 lbs.
:holdon: I thought it was a red fox being held by a kid when I saw your avatar on other threads. :alscalls: Well the white tip on the tail lead me to believe that way. :doh2:
BTW - like your camo.
As for the weight - it's 16oz to the lb. :wink:
36 pounds
I was wondering what the Deer weight at Your foot ? cc :laf:
37.4
My guess would be close to 40. But hey, it's your story. It can weigh whatever you want it to weigh. :biggrin:

Thanks, I souped it up with some of my wifes Fall decorations. It blends in great. Needless to say she wasnt as thrilled as I was with it when she came home :shrug:

:wo: hmmmm, never thought about that. I meant to type the topic as "Busted me a 48lb coyote" lol
Must have been a National Geographic morning to get a Trophy Coyote and and a nice Buck, I'm sure there is a good story behind this? cc :shrug:
The buck was actually taken the day before. We take our horses into the backcountry of Cranberry and hunt. I found the coyote sign when we were getting the buck out of the woods. Found me a good spot to set up and went back the next day to call. I got her within 20 minutes. There was another one with her but I couldnt pull off a double. I have never got a double actually. i take my hand calls with me every year and spend one day coyote hunting.
Anyway, moral of the story is I didnt have a camera in the backcountry so I had my wife take a couple pics when I got home. I did have a video camera and made a movie of our trip up there. Was gonna post it but it was to long for youtube. I thought about splitting it in half and having a part 1 and part 2 and uplaoding it.
Sounds like a good hunting trip, good to have a place where you can get away from the porch sitters and just enjoy nature. cc :congrats:
