They have changed the pay out since 2 years ago... last year they lowered the top prize for the most yotes from 500 to 300 and added the 200 the the biggest male and female... This year they are paying out 1st 2nd and 3rd for biggest male, female and most number of dawgs.... they are trying to keep people honest... I'll find out what the payouts are and let you know.... should be a lot better this year... I think spreading the payouts out Will keep any party hunting down... 2 years ago i missed the largest female by 2pounds and last year my cousin go the biggest female.... I thought it was a lot of fun... they give away a gift certificate for a rifle artwork and other hunting stuff. I think last year there was DUCK TAXI trip on the potholes.... and dinner after the weight in...

Where was that held woodywsu?

it was based out of ephrata? I had something come up at the last moment and couldn't go. The rules were teams with 2 and 3. If someone would like to put one on, I would be game on. Any of you ML guys up for it. Somewhere in grant county would be great. If it was before the Warden tourney, it would be better.

  Are they offering anything more than (1) .17hmr per the winning team this year?  Also, are they making you bring in your yotes by the end of each day like last year?

Last year they changed the rules on the second day so you didn't have to bring your yotes every day.Me and my buddy had the biggest yote last year.

[/quote]  That funny.  I asked Kelsey if we could bring our coyotes in every other day since we had a long drive, and he said "no".  That was before the derby though, so we got a refund of our money.

My buddy and his dad competed last year. They had 1st place with 17 dogs when a team rolled in with 20 or 21. Heard they were on sleds out on the YTC. They had a contract with YTC to control the coyote population and used it to their advantage. The warden derby is known for these types of competing individuals, makes it not worth entering.

Grant PUD had their own last year with a bunch of guys who work there. Winning team was 7 dogs.

I can tell you for sure that didnt happen

Hello all. I'm a new member to this site and a member of the Warden Lions Club.
I'm sorry to hear about all of the negative comments about our derby. We try and put on a fair ethical hunt.  We are one of the few derbys that actually have a permit through the WDFW. We ask that all the entrants follow the state guidelines of hunting. If you are ticketed by a game warden, you are disqualified. Special T has the details right about the new pay-out. Last year the winning team tagged 6 dogs for the win. It is ALWAYS a fun derby and the profits go to a great cause. I am a new addict to the site and will keep in touch.
