I was thinking about doing the contest this year, but was curious about the tournament,
is it on private land? or public?
is there like a designated area that you are allowed to hunt? if so, how big is it?
it sounds like a bunch of people and dogs, can't be that small of an area?

Washington Predator Hunters Assoc. is trying to arrange one in Moses Lake area in February.  Plans aren't cast in stone yet.  Lots of public land in that area.

I read the rules last year but I remember it stating that you could hunt out of like 7 different counties that surrounded warden like Adams and Grant counties but you have to bring them to warden in the end for them to count. I'll try and find the old posts about the tournement and try and find last years rules.

Went back and found it. This is what I was sent last year so the rules will probably be similar but dates and a few things might be changed.

What could we do to get a tournament set up in tri cities? I think itd be a great idea!

Justed based on the pain it was to get the permit for this site, I am not to sure there is time to get one up & running in time for the rest of the season.  Besides that, who would want that kind of hassel..

Could have one set up for next year. I think it'd be a fun thing to do.

I'm game! I'd be willing to do some of the leg work to get it going! Maybe next year I persona;;y think it's to late for this year  If anyone has been personally involved with one of these or similar tournaments feel free to post up some particulars

I shot at the Warden tournament...  In order to get the permit it hase to be with a Nonprofit group. The area included under the permitt is pretty large. I think its a pretty good time. If you want to only compete with people who call, then one of the derbys up in the Wenatche area or some other timbered/rugged country might be your taste.  They normaly have a 50-50 shooting contest, a good feed and raffle. Usually there is a gun and other gear. Normally held in a hanger at the airport.

400 id love to help you get that going for next here i live in burbank.

  I did the Warden Coyote Tournament twice. The first time was about four years ago then again two years ago. The first time I did it the pay out was $600 for the most dogs collected by a two man team and then $250 for the biggest male and female. Unfortunately the weather sucked during the 24 hour contest period so my buddy and I only got a couple. The majority of the other 70-80 teams brought it 2-4 dogs average. I believe the second place team killed 7. The first place team brought in 21 coyotes. That smelled fishy to my hunting buddy and I so we didn't compete for a couple of years. The folks who ran the contest finally changed the money pots to be $500.00 dollars for the largest dogs and the smaller amount for the most dogs. So we tried it again and had a good time. They have some pretty cool fun shoots, some excellent door prizes and normally a BBQ at the end. The two we did started 1800hrs Friday night and ended 24 hours later. Lots of fun if the weather cooperates.
