GON’s Coyote Cull Results And Winners For 2014

“I just want to thank y’all for doing this. I need some help.”

Those were the firsts words out of Coyote Cull drawing winner Dennis Shaw, a forester from Shiloh. Well… they were the first words right after he said “Hallelujah!” about six times when he was told he’d won a gun.

“I killed one this morning (June 20) using a fawn bleat,” Dennis said as we talked about the Mossberg MMR 5.55mm Tactical Rifle he’d just won. “I’m in the woods every day, and I’m telling you, we’ve got to get after these things,” Dennis said. “Right now is the time. The fawns are so small, the coyotes are just picking ’em off.”

Prize 1: Mossberg MMR 5.56mm Tactical Rifle The winner of the Mossberg tactical rifle is Dennis Shaw, of Shiloh, who entered with a Harris County coyote.

Dennis said he’s killed four coyotes since the contest was announced in May.

“I keep my stuff with me in the truck,” he said. “We need more people getting them, so thank y’all for doing this.”

The response to GON’s Coyote Cull and its simple theme—it’s time to do something—has been terrific. We’ve heard from outdoor radio hosts in other states, and manufacturers as far away as Oregon who want to take part next year.

We’ve also heard from quite a few first-time coyote hunters and trappers. That, simply, was the goal of the Coyote Cull.

We know this alone won’t solve the overall issue of the coyote invasion into Georgia over the past two decades, but from this little incentive, there are 97 fewer yotes eating fawns and poults.

Bottom line—coyotes aren’t native to Georgia, and they have a significant impact on deer, turkey, rabbits and other critters.

Let’s all take Dennis Shaw’s advice—stay after them.

Prize 2: 45-Quart YETI Tundra CoolerThe winner of the YETI Tundra 45 is Steve Phillips, of Marietta, who entered with a Cobb County coyote.

Prize 3: $200 Gift Card at Franklin Gun ShopThe winner of the $200 gift certificate to spend at Franklin Gun Shop is Kyle Ricks, of Adrian, who entered with a Johnson County coyote.
