Where is warden & what's the entry?

[Special T]

Warden is SE of Moses Lake about half way between Othello and Moses... The turn off of Hwy 17 is just South the Sullivan damn Rd (S end of potholes) and E... The turn off of I 90 is U rd about 10miles E of Moses lake (Hwy 17 I 90 intersection). the sign in and weigh in is at the airport hangers. They usually have a sign out next to the main Rd... I'm going and have a good time... The entry includes a dinner after the weigh in and the raffle... Last year I they gave away a .17 rem fireball i believe... One of the local farmers won it and let them redraw someone else....

I didn't hear how last years derby went  I did hear bad things about the 09 derby though, But I might be interested if it is a leggit derby and the entry is reasonable

Yeah, I didn't here how it went either.  09 was fun, but winners bringing in like 20 dogs or so if I remember Seemed a little too shady to me to want to do it again. I'm bettin some of those dogs had freezer burn. I also remember hearing about guys running em down with quads and greasing em with shotguns.

Last year they changed the payout so that the most dogs didn't pay out as much... 2 years ago there were concerns about  "Team Hunting"  when the 19 dogs showed up... Last year there were about 70 teams and about 80 dogs killed... each team is a 2 man team.. Pay out last year payed out top 3 for the Biggest Male, Biggest Female,  and then the most number of dogs... I like hunting dogs, never won any money, came close to getting drawn on a rifle last year, and enjoy the feed at the end of the derby... The area encompassed in the derby is pretty big... I know more details will likely be forthcoming.... If you want to make some $$$$ kill the biggest dog..

Yeah the Team Hunting was what I was told! I'm going to take my ball and go home if we can't play fair

 In the past i heard rumors of airrial gunning , Chasing down with snow mobiles and shot guns,And setting up numerous bait piles a week in advance .
20 dogs in 24 hours , not at all hard to do if you have say 10 friends all sitting over diffrent bait piles for 24 hours .
$2000.00 divided x 10= 200.00 each for a days work while drinking beer, sitting in a warm truck and watching a dead pile . plus having bragging rights = priceless in some minds 
now if it were a calling contest i might consider going .

last year the payout for most number of dogs was $300 i think.. 2 years ago it was 500... I want to say the payout is $300, $200, $100 in the most #, Biggest Male  Biggest female... If you want a derby that is as pure as the wind driven snow participate in the one online here.... ANY time you make money a apart of it, it will taint it... I think the payout  of last years curbed a lot of the team hunting.  I'm guessing they will have a similar payout to last years...

A friend of mine went 3 years ago and said it was horrible, a joke. Where can you hunt ? I delivered all over that area and everything is private property from what I know. Why is it starting at night ? I'm kinda shaking my head.
