Warden Coyote Hunt

[ELKBURGER]

 

Is there any info you can share? Or know how to get some?

[deereman]

I don’t know much about it, I saw flyer at Tri-state in Moses lake. They took all the Warden Lions club paperwork and copied it so I’m assuming same format. It will be this weekend.

Question: What in the world would the Gun Club want with all those carcasses?

I suppose there is a fur market for them.  I know I wouldn't want hundreds of dead coyotes in my garage.

Tough conditions, weather, and moon phase.  It would probably be fun, but why so late in the season?  You shell out $125, spend $150 on fuel and I can’t even keep my own coyotes??  What’s in the raffle and what are typical pay outs?

[Special T]

It's late in the season because its after the rest of 99% of hunting is over. No conflicts. 2c

Baran, you always have the option of not spending the $125 and keeping your coyotes but it is a fund raiser and the coyotes sold to a fur buyer will just add to the funds raised.

[Thermal Predator Control]

What are the pay outs, generally $?$?

[AWS]

Most contests it is a percentage of the entry fees.

[Thermal Predator Control]

I understand that,  just curious of past pay out and how many teams usually enter?

In years past, the Huterites took some for the fur, and some went to a taxidermy school.

How many Hunt Wa folks are going??

[Instinct]

I'll be going

[eastsidemallard74]

I wish it wasn't the last weekend of waterfowl, I try to go every year. Not that the waterfowl has been any good, but it is the last weekend. Good luck to those that do go.

[ELKBURGER]

I'll be going

How did you guys do??? We got a couple average size females. It was a good time for sure.
