Washington Predator Hunting Association Coyote Classic II

Furbearer , I think you are looking at this in the wrong way. If you like to just call yotes then that is good for you. This is a coyote contest. No where does it say it's just a calling contest. It is a coyote hunting contest and any legal methods are allowed. You are making it sound like the guys not calling them in are less then you. You may think that is so but this contest is not just a calling contest it is a coyote hunting  contest in which all legal means are used.

• All coyotes presented for final check in must be called in and harvested by legal means. Coyotes turned in that are determined to be harvested in any way other than legal means will be disqualified and the team will be disqualified. No road kill or trapped animals allowed.

I might be out of bounds, but last I check. You are not suppose to shoot/hunt out of truck. 
I have to agree with Furbearer.  If this is a hunting contest, then road hunting and shooting out of a truck should not count.  My,

You are reading it wrong as well raul. Must be called in AND any legal means. So you guys are telling me that spot lighting is not a legal means? SO you are saying last years teams cheated to win? You guys are not on with your thought process right now.

What about disabled hunters shooting from a rig? Come on guys figure it out, it's not just a calling contest. OR: IT WOULD BE CALLED A CALLING CONTEST. Like I said no where does it say only called in coyotes count.

[Raul Duke]

Maybe Randy can clear this up. I must be mis reading MUST BE CALLED IN, in the rules.  I don't remember this rule last year. So after that contest, it seems this rule was put into effect.

[carpsniperg2]

You are missing part of it.

I reread the rules and saw nowhere that the coyotes HAD to be called in.  I would love it if any coyotes I get came in to my calling, but I'll take any I can get by any LEGAL means.  I look at this contest as a way to have fun doing what I like best.  Legally, that is....

Rule #2 All forms of hunting MUST comply with the hunting regulations as set by The Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife. So if it isn't  legal as per. the wdofw.  Then your braking the laws and rules of this Hunt !

[carpsniperg2]

Yes, so if you are walking across a field and jump a coyote you can shoot it and have it count. They do not have to be called in to count. If you are spotlighting on private ground and shoot a coyote with a spotlight, as long as you don't shoot out of the rig "unless you have a permit to do so" IT'S LEGAL.

SO any legal means count not just calling.

I am with you on that! I will take a called yote or shined yote or any other "legal" yote that I can.

Again, waiting for Randy to chime in. If I'm reading to far into this, I'm sorry. How is  "legal means", say its ok to shoot, or have a loaded firearm in a vehicle (road hunting)??   I understand the exception for disabled hunters. 

I'm sure this will be cleared up. Hope to see you all there at the contest.  This years is starting to look like its going to be a fun one.

  read this after my last post.

Yes randy will clear this up but I AM postive that not only called coyotes will count. That is what the discussion is about.

No one said it was o.k to have a loaded gun or shoot from the rig. If people are driving private roads and shooting coyotes so be it. AS long as they are not shooting from a rig or having a loaded gun in the rig. Road hunting is not illegal. Shooting from a rig is and having a loaded firearm in the rig is. You can get out of a rig and shoot a coyote after you see one driving around. There is no law that says you cant road hunt

I am going to throw a twister in your statement. It is legal to have a handgun loaded is a motor vehicle if that person has a conceal carry permit with them, they just can not shoot from that vehicle. They can hunt with that handgun as long as it has a 4" in barrel length too.
