What is the average length of a coyote not counting the tail on a board? I have a 50 # coyote that is 56 inches long. Thanks

Castormound you got that right. Big is not always better. a 3xl get well into the Easterns but guys like Rick have not figured that out yet.
Talk about loosing a pile of money on heaving on and pulling down.
But to get a western over to Illinois it would have to fall off a semi-trailer

I think most of mine are in the range of 39" to 45". A few might go to 48" or a bit above, and a few late pups might not make it to 36".

Most of mine that weigh over 30 lbs. are 50" plus. A 33 lb. female on the board now is 52" and a 35 lb. female I just took off is 53" and a 28 lb. female is 48".

48" to 52" seems to be about right. I've never measured one before tonight. My biggest one is 52". Last year I had 2 exceptionally long ones, probably 52" s and they both went 3 X eastern, the only easterns I had were 3x , and the young of the year went Western. Or similarly sized, that is.

I sold mine at auction, at NAFA, not to country buyers. I found it interesting that the only 3X coyotes I had, went eastern.
