March 2022 Results

Congratulations to all of the winning teams in the March 2022 WTBBC. We ended up with 493 teams entered. We weighed 28 qualified cats and paid out $112,890 in prize money.

For the 3 contests combined in 2022, we had a total of 1715 teams entered, paid out $393,950 in prize money, gave away some pretty awesome prizes from our sponsors, and we had a heck of a good time doing it. That brings our all time total payout (since 2008) to $3,140,810. We think that’s pretty unbelievable, and we know that it could not happen without all the hunters who support the contest and enjoy a little competitive predator hunting.

Also, please show our sponsors your appreciation of their support by visiting their websites or establishments, and patronizing them when they can be of service to you.
We look forward to seeing you all again for the contest.

We weighed A TON of qualified bobcats and foxes, and paid out $143,980 in prize money. Due to the number of qualified cats brought in, we didn’t keep track of all the bobcat weights like we usually do. For some reason we had quite a few cats turned in right around the 20 pound range. Speaking of, the winners of the Dilligent Defense, Co. suppressors for the qualified bobcat closest to 20 pounds were: Cody Helton, Jason Brock, and Dennis Luker with a 19 lbs. 10 oz. bobcat.
