The reply is intentionally meant to not take any side. It is just a response thanking you for involvement, don't take it to heart.

What is important is that 500 messages were received from the opposition, if hunters do not generate any messages of support then it would leave the commission thinking there is little support for coyote contests. Make no mistake, every message we send in support is very important.

Please keep the messages going....

I would like to ask all hunters to take one minute and send a short friendly message to the Washington Wildlife Commission now. You should also ask friends, family members, and members of any sporting groups you belong to do the same


Here is a sample message, add an additional point or two if desired, but keep it short and friendly:.

Send To.... commission@dfw.wa.gov
Subject..... I Support Coyote Hunting Contests

Dear WDFW Commissioners,
I would like to express my strong support for coyote hunting contests. These contests provide a great deal of recreation for hunters across the state and much needed management of Washington's undermanaged coyote population.

Thank you for your consideration,

The worry was that the pressure from letters opposing coyote contests would cause some type of action to eliminate contests. By sending messages of support the hope was to make contests appear to have support and that eliminating contests would be met with opposition by hunters. So far there is no outcome which is what we desired. 

Keep the messages going, let the commission know that coyote contests are strongly supported. If you already sent a message take a minute and send another message.
