Not alot of teams compared to years in the past,or alot of dogs taken,but 73 is still a good amount

[Special T]

Nice job! I bet the snow made them easier to spot.

[eastsidemallard74]

We saw a total of 25-30 yotes,but taking 500 yard to 1000 yard shots was next to impossible.  Out team only shot one,of them. The team that won shot 12 i believe and shoot a female weighing in at 33#'s. Long fun night

[JODakota]

Nice!

[Wanttohuntmore]

How many attended?  I plan on next year, need to make arrangements to get over there early on friday.   Were you hunting public or private land?

[eastsidemallard74]

I think 43 teams, so 86 people. I drive and find them,most farmers or people where i hunt don't care if you shoot yotes here. There a nuisance to most

[AWS]

So technically you trespass with implied permission because you think that no one cares,  you don't have actual permission to shoot on ALL the lands you see/shoot coyotes on.  Is that what you are saying.

[eastsidemallard74]

Nope,i know 95 percent of the people or bosses of the fields i hunt. And those i don't,if they see me they tell me where to go in the area to find more

[ELKBURGER]

I don't know how I missed this thread. I would've loved to have been a part of it. Next year for sure!

You know what assuming means? Making an ass out yourself

[Thanks,i didn't know how to respond to that and not get into an Internet tough guy competition

I didn't assume anything, I asked a question.  You said that you drive and find them most farmers don't care if you shoot them.  That is trespassing.  If you would have said that you drive farms you have permission on I wouldn't have said a thing.

Knowing 95% of the people  whose farms you shoot coyotes, still isn't having permission to hunt and the other 5% is still trespassing even if you get permission afterward.

Any newbie reading your post, would think it is perfectly acceptable to drive around that country and shoot any coyote they see, WRONG.

In the past there have been a lot of complaints about houses and yards getting spotlighted during the Warden hunt and  folks not respecting private property during the Warden hunt, it used to be crazy place to be during the hunt.  I won't even go over there during the hunt.

I hunt  that country from Lind to Ellensburg and the Tricities to US-2 for weeks at a time, you have no idea of the number of trucks I've seen driving the roads and blasting any coyote they see out the window regardless if they have permission.

If you feel you've been wronged and all your hunting practices are above board, I sincerely apologize. 

[eastsidemallard74]

I don't feel "wronged" just tired of people reading too much into my post  and other posts on here. It gets old,not that i have to, explain myself about how our what i do. If a "newbie" reads into this and thinks illegal hunting is the correct thing to do,than he or she should re read their book. I get on here to chit chat with people about something i enjoy doing,and to help others out because I've never had it until I've communicated with others on here.

[buglebuster]

I'm sorry, but I read it the exact same way AWS did.
