If anyone needs a partner let me know. I don't have land in the area but I can call and shoot!
Have 45000 acres to hunt in Sanderson but that is kinda far...

What happens to the animals after the contest?

I need to buy some cleanly shot and fresh foxes (not skinned) to train my dog. I could also use a very small coyote pup if you have one. It would need to be the same size as a fox. If anyone is interested in selling a couple, pm me and I will give you my cell number. I live in Weatherford and will meet you at David's.

You know Im in w/ b-rat...can hold the spotlight like noone else & run a shotgun pretty good.

ONLY question...whats the animal limit??? I hope there isnt going to be someone to show up with JUST a zillion coons wanting to win. That just wouldnt be right.

At most contests, there USUALLY is a fur buyer. If not..& the animals is in good shape (we) will take it back home & skin it out.

This time of year, not sure how many "small pup" yotes are left out there. But someone may get one.

For the people that havent ever hunted a calling contest that is what it is a calling contest, no baiting an area means that you cant drag any dead animals to an area and then hunt that area. you may hunt a dead pit where ranchers dump there dead but you may not drag dead animals to a spot and hunt it. We need to try and keep this tournament fair remmember we will have a polygraph.

I'd love to be on somebody's team unfortunately I don't bring a lot to the table other than being a pretty good shot with my .243 and my portion of the entry fee, but if anybody needs another team member let me know.

(Brtother in law) we are actually getting alot of feed back! we have it posted on about 10 different sites and alot of people are asking how many people are coming. We dont really know at this time but if everyone would just get a team together we would have a really good turn out. You should really consider coming

Big animal pot, its optional for every animal but if you have a bad night you still have a chance of winning some money on one big animal.

Calcuuta is actually not a big pot but a pot where the hunters enter in basically saying that they are going to win the contest.and if you do win you get the pot

I dont know about that dude...anyone/everyone can enter saying they will win, human nature & if they do..then they get the prize $$, if not..they dont.

I like the big animal pot..makes it more interesting. Gives at lease everyone a chance. Where's varminter on this, he runs those?
