Giant Kiyute Thread
Surely everybody has noticed the giant kiyutes that most all have been packing back to our trucks. Then we grunt and groan peeling them. Was it really a 50 lb Kiyute? Was it actually 60 lbs plus?
Nothing like a digital scale. Let’s start weighing them and photographing and see where we end up? Any takers?
Always nice to know if he was full of groceries or on empty. Is relevant. The brave are encouraged to perform a trapper necropsy and check the stomachs!
Kiyute#1 is a 45.6 lber. I am certain I took much bigger specimens this winter but never weighed them.
Please, a show and tell thread! If you can’t show, don’t tell??? Or shall I say, if we didn’t weigh in on a digital scale then we’ll ignore those ones.

giants
Cripes! I don't even own a digital scale, let alone know how to take and post pictures of it! I can be safely ignored. But a few years back I caught one that I thought was a world-beater; made a younger-than-I-am-now trapper grunt to get him up the hill and back to the truck. His canines were half-long and worn flat. Sure as hell he was gonna weigh #50 lbs +. I weighed him with my old spring scale.....44 pounds. Full. I'll bet lots of folks get surprised like I was.

Ok, whatever, as long as we weighed stuff
I have quite a bunch over the 40 lb mark this season, probly everybody does this year that takes any number of coyotes up here in AB and of course, good ole SASK.
Non-auction fur market term... 3XL Westerns! Never heard this term much before I started chatting with the PT buyers.
A big coyote is 35 lbs, and goes up from there. This is a special year for us in AB... but I thinks every year is special in SK, twice the square miles of the AB coyote landscape with 1/4 of the human population. It’s a dawgs world!!! The land of the monster kiyute!

Marty feeds them with a 1200 lb frozen cow before he hangs them up for a weight. They're so full they can barely walk into the snare.
They've got nothing in their belly when they come in to the call.

Nope... no 1200 lb cow in this one.
Just a good ole wholesome 45.6 lb kiyute!
Yucky eh???
Can you say, “trapper necropsy”?

Marty, why are the 3XL a non auction item? Thanks in advance for your response.

I had one this year that I would have swore was high 40's but once he got on the scale he turned out to be only 34. Pictured here next to a good size male.
The biggest one I have ever seen was shot by a friend of mine off of a bait in his yard of all places.

I suspect if the snare hadn't got him high cholesterol and heart failure would have. Looks chubby.

Funny, I forgot to mention the rest of my little story. Had a friend with me for a couple days and we weighed another monster on Friday 43.2 lbs. I stretched them on my biggest stretchers, pelt measurements on both 52” and 51”. Photo is a little blurred, sorry!
Bushmaster, welcome back! You are missed! Always enjoyed your posts + pics Anyways why no 3XL Western question... answer is because so few are produced, never mind trying to match grades in the same class.
The one exception... take a look at the top lot coyotes, they are usually massive! Still no 3XL designation.
Perhaps 3XL Western is just an American dealer term? They do throw it around and froth at the mouth over the Saskatchewan goods. Like drool, foam, convulse, you get the picture.
However, I’ll confuse you now, sometimes we get 3XL size/grades on our westerns, when that happens know they are ugly/wirey/massive and end up in the eastern section.

Marty , sorry I have no picture but biggest I weighed this year was #44, biggest we have ever taken and weighed was a #47 shot by my wife 20 years ago . A fellow texted me yesterday saying a buddy of his showed him a pic of one they claimed weighing in at #67 , told him that me and the rest of the world would have to see it on the scales to believe it ..kind of sounds like one of those guys that claim to see multiple 200" + deer every year ..lol

Here’s another pig!
Shot with a .22 by some farmer. Non local but what is this time of year? I do believe it was a very recent kill.
Thot I’d share. Something a little constructive! Before someone stirs the pot... or rakes the embers...
Fan the flames????
Anybody up for some more?

Didn't weigh any of mine this year, but I did have one that measured 52" on the board. He is in for the spring sale so will see what he grades.

You ought to restart a new thread for this season, Marty. Then we have a whole season of big coyotes. I caught one today that may be worthy of posting but I haven’t weighed it yet.

Could be just a poor picture but with those numbers that would make you 6’6”.

Yowzers! You guys have BIG dowgs!
I doubt if the biggest I shot, or trapped up here topped thirty pounds.

Just remembered, Dad caught Wolf - dog cross back around 1964.
We knew for sure it wasn't pure Wolf because it was too small but too big to be a Coyote so we weighed it. I say we because I was with dad that day.
In truth he did all the work, I just watched.
Anyway that beast weighed just over 45 pounds on our bathroom scale, and we figured it was nearly twice the size and weight of any Coyote.
Dad sold the pelt to Sam Belcourt as a Wolf-Dog. That's what Sam said it was anyway.

He was 43 lbs. I should have left him for a week or two more on the bait.

Dave you should have left a large pail of water by your set. It was a good trick of cattle ranchers in old days to water them well just before shipping.
