What is the biggest coyote you've taken. I got a 44 lber yesterday. Seemed like a biggun' to me.

Never weighed one but have caught some jumbos for sure

trigger7mm · #3 01-03-2016, 02:56 PM

Out of the 75 I've taken so far this winter, he is for sure the biggest. I bet he has dined on a few fawns in his day. Glad to take him out of business.

Big coyote you got. I have been close to a 45lb dog it was 43.5 my best and it looked like a beast when I got up to it.

I just caught one ata sheep farm this morning. They killed a sheep last night and ate the whole thing I caught him on his way out must be well over 50 pounds. It is the fatest coyote out of a 150 this year.

Ya it was. His belly is so round I would not be surprised if he's carrying 10or more pounds of sheep meat

A buddy called in and shot a legitimate (weighed) 50.5 lbs coyote about 6-7 years ago, biggest Alberta coyote I have ever seen.

Just weighted him. Didn't have a scale so I used a house scale weighted myself with and with out the coyote 52.9 pounds. I'm sure that's not perfect but close weight.

That's a giant! The local deer population thanks you.

Wonder what would be the best criteria for sizeing a Coyote? Weight? Length? Skull size?

trigger7mm · #12 01-03-2016, 05:32 PM

I'd say weight.

any coyote west of the Mississippi river that tops 40# is a BIG one.

tchardy1972 · #16 01-03-2016, 07:33 PM

I finally got a scale in the garage and all I can say is my second biggest this year is 38 pounds. I will compare the size of the pelts when I get them both side by side.

goosejerky · #17 01-03-2016, 08:55 PM

I got a massive one a few weeks ago and could have sworn he was 60 lbs plus.... I took the old bathroom scale out to the skinning shack and to my surprise he weighed in at 42.2 lbs.

i should have taken a measurement from tip to tail cause he was a giant!

boonedocks · #18 01-03-2016, 09:07 PM

I called in and shot a male coyote a few years ago that I later weighed on my digital fish scale at 47.5 lbs! I have also confirmed the accuracy of this scale by weighing a turkey while I was in save on foods butcher isle ( much to my wife's dismay)!

Haha! Would have loved to have seen that!

HunterDave · #20 01-03-2016, 09:50 PM

This seems to be the year of the big male dog. I never bothered weighing any but I've had several heavy ones that took the whole length of the board and then some......+6' from nose to tip of the tail. With about an inch of fat on the November ones 50 lbs wouldn't surprise me.

Yaha Tinda · #21 01-03-2016, 09:55 PM

45lber.

-CLM- · #22 01-03-2016, 10:54 PM

50 is huge! Got this male a few years ago that was right around 45lbs. Got him tanned and he looks like a wolf hanging on the wall.

You've never seen a wolf on a wall then! They are not even comparable in size

no offence!

Petty hard to put this one into perspective but the middle coyote was BIG! That's an adult male behind him. I caught him in November and he had about an inch of fat right down his back. I kind of wish that I had have weighed him now.

tikka250 · #26 01-04-2016, 12:39 AM

This thread has really piqued my intrest as was just recently given a coyote that i was confident in thinking it is 50 pounds but now im not so sure. Aparently i need to find a scale

bucksnbears · #27 01-04-2016, 05:34 AM

while hunting tournmaents, i've seen many,many coyotes wieghed.
an average MN,ND,MT,SD female will be about 27-30 lbs. males will be 30-33lbs.

biggest i;ve seen was 43# and he had a full belly.
its a humbeling thing when someone brings in a "for sure" 50lb'er only to weigh it and find out its a 37-40

this is the biggest i've ever shot. did not scale him but he was BIG!!.
the other coyote was a bit bigger than an average male.

Isn't that the truth , kinda like everyones 200" mule deer and 170" whitetail , all look big til you tape em . That is indeed a big dog you have there . I've also taken a number of em that are over 45#s but it takes a real big one , with a belly full to top 50 .

None taken and your right, they are not comparable. Before I shipped my coyotes that year I lined them all up and this one was noticably bigger then the rest. Biggest Ive ever taken thats for sure.

Nice dogs everyone.
