Shotgun all of your called coons? Looks like Nitro Mags in the buttstock carrier in other pics.

Assume #4s?

Dirt Bag,

Always wanted to enter a Predator contest, but there aren't any close to us, up North there's some real big contests, that pay big money, $ 100,000.00 for the biggest Coyote, the same for the biggest Bobcat, Biggest Pig, Most Pigs, lots of Sponsor Money. Rio7

Thank you for the information about venison/wild pork. Even the meat of game birds, rabbits and hare ist called venison over here. Of course we use the term "Wild" or wild meat/Wildfleisch.

Yep #4's....I'm not picky though. I do run a Carlson's Coyote choke....It's designed for 4 buck and other buckshot, but it patterns well with #4's, just a little low. I have to remember to "cover them up" on the longer shots.

This one was just a local one that the Archery Club puts on. It draws in some good teams, but the payback isn't big by any stretch. I always enjoy the BSing and the check-ins and seeing what everyone else got.

Thanks Rio.

They're really rewarding. A LOT of work and even at $500-$550 a pop, I won't be making any kind of a profit compared to the fuel money I spend, but I enjoy trapping them anyhow.
