Default 800 coyotes

Went to take my fur in today, and there was a rental van pulled up to the ramp. Unloading coyotes. He said 800 was the total, and they had boxes of them from the top to the bottom of the ramp and still boxing them. After some discussion, I found out the gentleman bought a lot as well. I'm sure he said 400 rats and I forgot how many beaver. I felt like I shouldn't bother them with the little lot I brought down.

Everyone who has been sitting on furs will be showing up at the coming sales. 800 pelts from one guy is a more than a few years of pelts i bet, hope they dont flood the market.

Default Whole coyotes

Currently selling coyotes in the whole from 5 to 30 dollars as well as a 15$ bounty in Newell County and do we ever have a lot of them. Overall most of our coyotes are quite open and some are even getting rubbed with the lack of snow.

I seen 2 really good looking yotes wandering around Rolling hills reservoir yesterday.

The one was the biggest yote I have ever seen and the other one was pretty far away but got a look with binos.

Just thought I would let you guys know in case anyone from around that area is hunting dogs.
