Capt. Don Martin Report post Posted February 24, 2015 As you all know, once again the antis are all over the coyote hunts in Arizona. The Pima County Board of Supervisors rolled over first. And in a year or two, their citizens and their pets will pay the price! It is estimated that Arizona has a coyote for every square mile in the state. That's a heck of a lot of coyotes. We know that coyotes are the number one predator on antelope fawns, and these predators do a number on deer fawns, elk calves, turkey poults and javelina redds. The Mohave Sportsman Club is once again holding their Antelope Eaters Coyote Suppression hunt on March 7-8 out of Seligman. The reason for this hunt is to remove coyotes from prime antelope (and other big game) fawning or calving areas in northern Arizona. We need hunters to come up and help out. You can have 2 or 3 member teams. Entry fees are $50 for 2 member teams and $75 for three member teams. Entry fees can be paid by check that are post marked up to February 27. After that and until March 6th, entry fees must be cash only! Late entries can be made on March 6th at the Black Cat Bar in Seligman up to 10 p.m. Again cash only! And for those want to hunt on Boquillas Ranch for free, you can pick up a permit from Cindy Seff at the Black Cat. These permits are free, but you must have one BEFORE you hunt on the ranch! Send in your hunt application- which can be downloaded off of the MSC website at www.mohavesportsmanclub.com to Mohave Sportsman Club, ATTN Antelope Eaters, P.O. Box 6391 Kingman, AZ 86402. The club is also asking for donations for the prize table. Hunters can purchase raffle tags for these prizes too. We are asking businesses and individuals to donate to this event too..Things like taxidermists who can donate whole or partial discounts for work would be greatly appreciated. We could use custom coyote calls, and really anything that you want to donate. By the way, the MSC is a 501C3 organization. The club already has over 50 teams registered and we're hoping to get a hundred more. As part of the raffle, the club is giving away not one, but TWO Rock River Arms Predator AR's! Tickets are $5 each or five for $20 and can be picked up at the hunt either Saturday or Sunday before the 2 p.m. deadline. This is going to be a fun hunt and I hope to see a lot of you again. I've been asked to be the Emcee so I promise we'll have some fun at the drawing! If you need any more information, give me a call at 928-303-09481 or you can email me at info@arizonawidlifeoutfitters.com If our event saves even ONE antelope fawn, deer fawn, elk calve, turkey poult or javelina redd then it is a worthwhile event. We know we will never eliminate coyotes off the landscape, and we don't want to. We just want to help our wildlife at a time when they need it most.

HunterB17 Report post Posted February 25, 2015 What are the rules for the hunt? Ie- Do we have to check in at Seligman before going out even if we register early? When is check-in? Is it yotes only or is this for cats too? Sorry for all the questions. I checked the facebook group and event page but couldn't find any other info there.
