How the heck you gonna proclaim 45, 50, 55 pound coyotes or 30, 35, 40 pound bobcats if'n ya actually weigh the darn things?
Get a grip pilgrem. That taint the way we do things around these parts.
Next thing ya know you'll be asking how to measure group sizes the correct way.
Newbies. Geeze!

Don't forget, black panthers weigh way more than 50 pounds! Doggin' is right on, a guesstimate beats the truth every time... lol.
BTW, I also use a set of digital fish scales that go to 50 pounds. I think mine are Berkley brand, probably about the same as the Rapala mentioned above.

Everything I kill is over 50 pounds. Doubt either of those scales would work for me.
I'll have to get me one of those platform type scales. Gonna be a beotch to pack around, but by golly, for honest to goodness weights I'm willing to go the extra mile.
And counting off paces or steps to shotgun killed critters ain't gonna cut in no'mo either! Pure nonsense!
Gonna start packing a tape measure for those shotgun coyotes.. Not just your ordinary, standard, run of the mill 50 yarder either. No, no, no. Wouldn't be near long enough. I'm gonna need one a minimum of 100 yards. That should cover the #4 turkey loads. Might have to stretch er out twice for the #4 buck though.
We gotta get this stuff straightened out fellas.

I have one that is used to for backpacks, you can get one in most camping stores. it is digital and goes to 150lbs, it is about the size of my hand. is a little more expensive but that way you can back up those monster coyote stories.
You could probably get one smaller but I like the storie of I need it that big for what is running around out here.

doggin,
We seem to agree more often than not and I'm with you on this shotgun stuff. It's a pretty poor rig that won't kill a coyote clean at 70+ yards like some of the choke and load makers say. Heck, I hear tell of much farther kills than that. We got some shooters here on PM!
BTW: Speaking of fishing scales, I caught a ten pound bluegill the other day. Yep, sure did, used a two pound grasshopper for bait. Anybody can catch them big 'gills like that if they can find the right bait. That's the trick...

Where do you find them 2 pound grasshoppers? Do you think there are any our here in the west? If not could you ship me some and how much do they cost.
