Teams are assigned or made up by people....either way. It is open for anyone who hunts by legal means across the state. There have been some half point dogs for out of state but the short story is that it's wide open.

How do I go about entering this thing? Is there a particular area to be hunted? How long is the tourny?
Once the permit has arrived, Raul Duke should post up a new Coyote Madness thread, just throw your name in the hat and someone will pick you for their team or you can start a new one, either way.
You can hunt state wide, no out of state dogs will be allowed and nothing more than coyotes can be counted per WDFW rules/guidelines. The contest goes from Nov. 1 - 2012 thru the end of Feb 2013. You are not required to hunt with any other member of your team but some do, some members don't live anywhere near the other so it's up to you to find areas to call and kill the dogs.
Most of us make up a team sign and have it laminated to prevent damage, keep it in your hunting gear so you can photograph the kill for a point towards your final tally. The rules are posted from last years contest on page one of this thread so read through them to get an idea of what is expected.
Oh.....And Welcome aboard!! :tup:

After modern elk season ill be hunting coyotes hard and maybe kill a couple fox. I need a team! I'm in the tri city area and hunt all over the south east side.

Didn't fox and bobcats count for anything last year? What about raccoons? I think wetside tires should count for 2, not 3 :yike:

Nope....coyotes only per the rules, I wish it did include raccoons, and such.

Is it possible to add those this year?! Predator madness!
Honestly...I doubt it. It sounds as though the permit application is done and we are just waiting for it to be approved. WDFW sets the rules not HuntWa. :dunno:
