Entered a local coyote/cat/coon/crow calling contest this past weekend. We called one up on the first stand but he hung up a ways out. My partner took a shot but missed high. We then went on an epic dry streak and didn't see another critter until about 3pm. We called 3 young coons up in a tree but they wouldn't come out. Hit a virgin piece of ground a bit later and was able to get a few to play the game. These 2 were really young and small. Didn't seem like there were many older or larger coons in this property. ![[Linked Image from i.postimg.cc]](https://i.postimg.cc/4N7yVk1T/drag.jpg) 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.

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.

Rio7 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.

Headed out Sunday AM to try for some coons if it isn't too windy.

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.
