The general downward trends are continuing with the length of tunnel looking pretty long as of yet. Bryce

Just give me one thing, that I can hold on to. To believe in this livin' is just a hard way to go.

I'll bet there there were some late wooly and ruled coyotes. I was told by a buyer that was there that it was a pretty good collection of coyotes, better than most years. And for no coyote market, $17 was pretty good. And yes, Nancy is spot on about Montana rats not being comparable to great lakes area rats, Wisconsin has darn good rats in places and make tiny, papery Montana rats look pretty poor.

I will bet there were some good coyotes too, considering Montana produces some of the best coyotes in the US. Montana rats don't compare to ND rats even. ND is not know for a great rat.
