Congratulations to all of the winning teams in the March 2025 WTBBC, and thank you to all who entered. Our total team count was 714 teams. We weighed 38 qualified bobcats, and paid out $164,220 in prize money. 

For the 3 contests combined in 2025, we had a total of 2,289 teams entered, paid out $526,470 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 $4,487,490. 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.

We would like to give a huge THANK YOU to our sponsors this year for adding more ways to win at every contest, 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 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 once again really outdone themselves this year.
