February 2026 Results

Posted on by

Congratulations to all of the winning teams in the February 2026 WTBBC and thank you to all who entered. Our total team count was 932 teams. We weighed 63 qualified bobcats, and paid out $213,860 in prize money. Call us a broken record, but this one just broke our previous record.

WTBBC would like to thank everyone for supporting the contest. It wouldn’t continue to thrive as it has without your help in spreading the word. Keep telling all of your hunting buddies about it!!

We would like to give a huge THANK YOU to our sponsors for adding more ways to win and for donating items to the door prize drawing. Special thanks to Twisted Precision Rifles for covering all of the polygraph fees this year, so that money doesn’t have to come out of the prize pot. That is a huge financial commitment! Please show them your appreciation of their support by visiting their websites or establishments and patronizing them when they can be of service to you. They have really outdone themselves once again this year.

We look forward to seeing you all again for the March 21st contest.
