Talked to sidedrifter again last night said he saw 4 4pts that would be in the 150's and 1 big 3pt that he thought was at least 29 inches wide. Maybe wider. He also said since he has been there, he has seen over 50 coyotes.
Glad to hear he has standards for the unit!! I think a lot of guys only put in for that unit because their buddy's uncles brother's in-laws do and told them to. People that don't even know the potential or the area at all. Maybe that unit is on the down hill from years past but it would cool to see someone hunt hard and come out with a bruiser. Wish him luck!

He said that he has been hunting really hard. He has been really surprised at the lack of big bucks. I think he has only seen one buck that was big 180+, and that was during the summer. It won't suprise me if he eats his tag if he can't find anything big.

He shouldnt be suprised. There are very few of the type of buck he is looking for out there. Lots and lots of 140-160 class bucks, like all the ones that hit the dirt every year. No problem with that but should not be a suprised.
I can count on one hand the number of "big" bnucks I have seen out there in my ventures.
Fun hunt though for a decent buck!

He talked to 10 or 15 people that have had the tag in the last 10 years. About half of them had killed some 180+ bucks in the unit. The other half were people that weren't serious hunters that drove around and mostly shot 140 - 160 inch bucks. He talked to a guy right before season that said he had seen a few 180+ bucks and one he thought would go over 200. He said the guy seemed pretty believeable.

My biggest worry with that tag was shooting too early vs. passing on a buck that I would regret.
Very happy with this guy.

Heard of a missed opportunity on a 15X15 out there a couple days ago, would sure like to see that toad.

Hachhooo*censored*......there isn't even a hunter that can count that high :chuckle: Run out of fingers and toes at 20, maybe a few of us have 6 fingers and toes but that's still only 24.
Sorry Phool, couldn't resist. :chuckle:
