Predator Contest!!

[boonerbuck]

Predator Hunt Canada's annual predator contest is underway folks. Last year it was a smashing success with many great prizes drawn and a trophy awarded to the top point total.

Please feel free to enter your pics of any of the predators you have shot on your big game hunts on or after Oct 15th. There is a link to last years contest on the old server in the first post of the contest thread. You can also find last season's prizes on that forum also. The forum is closed but please come join our new site on this server.

Good luck on the rest of your hunting season folks!!:cool:

[Marc]

You mean that yote I shot on the 7th don't count?

[BCrams]

Missed a wolf yesterday with a slug while goose hunting a field. Could have been one of the 1st entries!

[boonerbuck]

Marc,

you will just have to get out for wolves I guess unless you make it over to Canada this winter.:biggrin:

BCRams,

that would be a story to tell wouldnt it?8-)

[BCrams]

Maybe Bartell will end up shooting it this winter !

[boonerbuck]

Maybe Bartell will end up shooting it this winter !

He's a wolf magnet no doubt.

[tracker]

Just killed one on friday !!! There was 2 but the other one ran over the hill into a big draw and left his buddy behind for th 270 wsm to smash!!!
186 yards away downhill ,trotting away .barnes tsx through the shoulders:p

[boxhitch]

Good one tracker. Ive wondered how 'fur-freindly ' a TSX would be in my .243. How was the damage from your shot ?

[Will]

That's Good News:cool:

I plan on making another VERY STRONG showing............:biggrin:
:lol:

[tracker]

Boxhitch

handloaded 130 grain tsx at 3050 fps left a toonie size exit hole on the hide ,major damage to the shoulders both were mushy!!!:eek: no surprize there though :cool:

[Gateholio]

I shot a yote a few days ago wiht my 300WSM and 180gr TSX.

I can't post pics here due to the graphic nature.:shock:

It wasn't fur friendly...Or yote friendly...:shock:

[boonerbuck]

Go ahead and post it in the contest on PHC Gates. Maybe our Super Moderator can edit it if it's too gross.:mrgreen:

Tracker,

Post it up!!8)

[tracker]

[todbartell]

bah thats nothing...Ive seen softball size holes many times :D

[tracker]

Ya thats the point not a "soft ball size hole "and the 130 gr tsx is fur friendly as boxhitch would like to know!!!:biggrin::biggrin: less hide sewing.

Good bullet for everything from large game to small :cool:

[todbartell]

shoot enough of 'em and eventually you'll get some softballs :D

[boonerbuck]

shoot enough of 'em and eventually you'll get some softballs :D

Even the odd pumpkin....:eek:

[boxhitch]

Sure, but if you wait for an ethical angle, for an ethical shot placement, an ethical bullet should result in .......whatelse?...........an ethical kill.

[todbartell]

broadside behind the shoulder with a 243 is pretty ethical :)

[Derek_Erickson]

Very ethical shot, I'd say, dont shoot unless its broadside, hundred yards, very unethical to shoot any further than a hundred yards coyotes are just to skinny, high chance of missing!.....................................:-x:shock:

[todbartell]

I'd argue that, if you are confident in making the kill, shooting one at 200,300, or 400 yards isnt out of the norm. 100 yards is pretty close for a shot on a coyote :) hell, I'd shoot at one @ 500 yards. Ask a coyote how it feels about ethics when its ripping the guts out of a live fawn or calf :)

[Derek_Erickson]

Thats what I was getting at, I dont think its unethical to shoot at a coyote at any range to tell you the truth, pound lead, thats what they're there for!

Target Practise

[Will]

You guys are an embarrassment to Yote hunters...:-x

Even Wiley Coyote deserves a quick and humane end, that doesn't mean having it's leg shot off at 500 meters by some sniper:rolleyes:

[Grandbois]

just tried to check that pic on photobucket, it has been removed due to violating terms of the website, lol, must have been intense

[boonerbuck]

Remeber cat hunters, your lions are welcome and bring in the highest score.

[boonerbuck]

Just thought I'd bump this thread. I see that some more predators have been taken by HBC members.

Wildcat Composites have donated one of their stocks to our contest matched to the winners' rifle model. This is a great prize and all you need is to enter one predator to be in the draw.

Good luck.:smile:

[bc-shedder]

[Sharkey]

I wonder if that grouse I shot last week counts... he DID look pretty shifty with those beady little eyes...

Another one hits the dirt!!!!

I used the 7mm mag on this one with 160 grain tsx's bigger exit hole than the 270 wsm but never blew him apart,,,,

[kishman]

Here's my first ever predator kill, hope it's not the last. The pic looks kinda funny, I tried to rotate it on my comp and this is what I came up with....
