Winners Announced In 8th Annual GON Coyote Cull

We always say, our Coyote Cull effort is not about numbers. It’s about bringing awareness to the impacts of coyotes on fawn and turkey poult survival rates, which have plummeted since non-native coyotes became established across Georgia.

Well, it’s still not about numbers… but y’all did shatter the record! The previous record was 129 yotes in 2017, while this year 177 coyotes were entered.

In a random drawing of all entries, here are the winners in the 8th Annual GON Coyote Cull:

• Vortex Radian Carbon Tripod Kit:

This prize from Kenzie’s Optics was won by Jon Gordy, of Centerville, who entered with a coyote from Houston County.

This prize from Kenzie’s Optics features a carbon fiber tripod and a ball head style. It anchors your precision rifle and long-range glass with an incredible strength-to-weight ratio, perfect for large binoculars, spotting scopes and rifles. The carbon fiber leg construction is the perfect combination of strength and lightweight build.

The leveling head and 3-angle pivot lock allow for a secure set-up in any situation.
