Help guessing the weight of my last coyote...

[Hidehunter]

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.   

A trophy in anyone's book!

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!!!!

hidehunter i would think your about right with the 40 lb

[centerfire_223]

My guess would be around 35 lbs.

  I thought it was a red fox being held by a kid when I saw your avatar on other threads.    Well the white tip on the tail lead me to believe that way. 
BTW - like your camo.

As for the weight - it's 16oz to the lb.

36 pounds

My guess would be close to 40. But hey, it's your story. It can weigh whatever you want it to weigh.

He definatly weighs less than what he did cause we have already fried up some backstraps lol

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

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 

[Hidehunter]

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
