whats a high or winning daily count average, never participated in something like this before.Last year two teams tied for 1st with 7 dogs a piece. It was blowing about 30mph and it was late in the season. This year we hope to see more dogs hauled in.

This was not a true statement. Dogs can not be taken "anywhere" in this contest. This contest is limited to 5 counties in and around the tri-cities area., I will post the counties listed on our permit tonight.

Having never been involved in a coyote contest, how do these things work? Do the team members have to find their own land to hunt? Seems like that would be a big advantage to the local hunters. I'm not complaining, we have a good chunk of land to hunt, just wondering.Yes you hunt your own land but, in the counties listed there is thousands of acres of feel free to hunt land. On another note you have over a month to start knocking on doors and getting some land lined out. I would say if you are going to participate it may be a good idea to scout during December. Good luck.

Here is what I am asking.
If only one team member comes to check in and gets signed up at 5. Can the other team member not there start hunting at 5? Or do you have to be with your team member for the coyotes to count?
Reason I ask is that we are both 2hrs or so away. So can our team member start hunting without us with them?
Post by: jayrod9528 on November 26, 2012, 05:57:03 PM
OK so to figure this out more. When you say you can start hunting as soon as you register how does that work?• Teams will consist of 2 members. Team members must stay together during hunting times and may not be more than 100 yards apart at each stand.

Gotcha so my partner will have to wait for me to drive 2 hrs back home before we can start :chuckle: Then bug out 2 hrs early to get back to check in :chuckle:Yep, plus it might be a little hard to get a mouth block into the yotes mouth after two hours. Since the blocks are being distributed at sign in.

I would love to do the tourney to redeem myself from the performance that we put on a the Worlds a couple of weeks ago. I hate being the buzzkill, but how do you prevent cheating? How do you prevent teams from pooling kills. I would like to do it but have competed in tournaments before and hate spending the time and money on them when i have lost before i even get started. Winning aint everything, but it is funner to save the money and the hassel and just have a good day of hunting.
On signup, you will be given a set of wood blocks with zip-ties to put in the mouth of any coyote a team kills. Rigor sets in quickly, making getting a dog's mouth open hard. I guess there's no way to guarrantee 100% no cheating, but with no big prizes, I doubt anyone would want to..... :dunno:

Winning aint everything, but it is funner to save the money and the hassel and just have a good day of hunting.We hand out mouth blocks that are numbered and assigned to each team. Last year the winning teams tied with 7 each not a unreasonable amount. I understand that just because cheating did not happen last year does not mean it can't happen this year. I think we go above and beyond to try and prevent cheating but, cheaters will always find a way. Hope you come the more honest people entering will hopefully drive away the cheaters.

If I remember, last years winners won, by road hunting all night. :P
That is somewhat right I guess. They did drive the back roads using a siren locator to find them than called them in and spot lighted them. I think both teams with the 7 count used the same method.
The way the wind was blowing, I am surprised that even worked :yike:

Last year with 19 teams entered, we feel that there was no cheating done. We do go to extremes to TRY to minimize the possibility of cheating. As Heredoggygoggy says, there is no real huge prizes involved but big enough to make it worth the effort. The WDFW regulates the amount of prizes allowed to be distributed in cash and prizes. Our efforts is to organize a good time for sportsmen. Can we totally prevent cheating, I wish we could but . . . a true sportsman would not think of cheating.

It is a coyote hunting contest and any legal methods are allowed. You are making it sound like the guys not calling them in are less then you. You may think that is so but this contest is not just a calling contest it is a coyote hunting contest in which all legal means are used.:yeah:

I might be out of bounds, but last I check. You are not suppose to shoot/hunt out of truck.
I have to agree with Furbearer. If this is a hunting contest, then road hunting and shooting out of a truck should not count. My, :twocents:

I reread the rules and saw nowhere that the coyotes HAD to be called in. I would love it if any coyotes I get came in to my calling, but I'll take any I can get by any LEGAL means. I look at this contest as a way to have fun doing what I like best. Legally, that is.... :chuckle:
I am with you on that! I will take a called yote or shined yote or any other "legal" yote that I can.
Post by: Raul Duke on December 29, 2012, 07:56:20 PM
You are missing part of it.
and harvested by legal means
Again, waiting for Randy to chime in. If I'm reading to far into this, I'm sorry. How is "legal means", say its ok to shoot, or have a loaded firearm in a vehicle (road hunting)?? I understand the exception for disabled hunters.
I'm sure this will be cleared up. Hope to see you all there at the contest. This years is starting to look like its going to be a fun one.
Post by: Raul Duke on December 29, 2012, 07:58:16 PM
Yes, so if you are walking across a field and jump a coyote you can shoot it and have it count. They do not have to be called in to count. If you are spotlighting on private ground and shoot a coyote with a spotlight, as long as you don't shoot out of the rig "unless you have a permit to do so" IT'S LEGAL.:yeah: read this after my last post. :tup:
SO any legal means count not just calling.
Post by: carpsniperg2 on December 29, 2012, 08:06:06 PM
No one said it was o.k to have a loaded gun or shoot from the rig. If people are driving private roads and shooting coyotes so be it. AS long as they are not shooting from a rig or having a loaded gun in the rig. Road hunting is not illegal. Shooting from a rig is and having a loaded firearm in the rig is. You can get out of a rig and shoot a coyote after you see one driving around. There is no law that says you cant road hunt :chuckle:

Yes randy will clear this up but I AM postive that not only called coyotes will count. That is what the discussion is about.I am going to throw a twister in your statement. It is legal to have a handgun loaded is a motor vehicle if that person has a conceal carry permit with them, they just can not shoot from that vehicle. They can hunt with that handgun as long as it has a 4" in barrel length too.

Carpsniperg, i dont know how you got that i think i am better than everyone else just cause i was a litttle iffy on whether everyone would be on the up and up. I apologize if it came off that way but I read the rules that they all had to be called. That is totally fine that it is a body count and i even said in one of my post that i am all for road hunting and taking coyotes in any legal way if it is not causing danger to person or property. You might want to go back and read it. Im out for the tourney but hope you guys have a blast and cant wait to hear the results. take care
This is what myself were talking about:
"Nothing wrong with road hunting if that is how you want to spend your day hunting yotes, but by no means should you think of yourself as a coyote hunter that won a competition under those terms"
It made it sound like anyone who kills a coyote by other means is not a coyote hunter. I am a coyote hunter and just because I don't kill coyotes by only calling them in. Does not mean I am not a yote hunter who could win a contest. I have no problem with you but more then just myself thought your post to be putting others down. If you did not mean that I am sorry but that is how it was worded and came across.

Gee, we seem to be making a real issue of this. All methods of harvesting the coyote have to conform with the rules set by the WDFW. In the rules it references calling and legal means of harvesting. If you have a disabled hunter permit and have the paper work to prove it, it is than legal to abide by those guidelines,if you want to spotlight, so be it, if you want to call, so be it, as long as it is any LEGAL means.
This has (thanks to all the attention and bending) made for a rule clarification for future Classics should there be any. It takes things like this to point out the weak points of things so they can be fixed. Thanks for that part.
We intended to have a coyote hunting contest, share the outdoors with other sportsmen and women, enjoy a sport we all share interest in and have a good time. Please let us have that . . .
Sorry if we confused anybody . . .

anyone else counting days, getting gear ready, lookin at maps, talking game plans?
Yep, gear is all been reorganized, labeled and repacked... Going out this weekend just to verify zero, make sure there isn't any last minute gear I need and I'll be ready to go. Hopefully my weapon mounted light gets here before this weekend so I can learn how best to use it, rather then learning on the fly in the field... Counting the days now....going to be a long fun weekend.

Yes randy will clear this up but I AM postive that not only called coyotes will count. That is what the discussion is about.
No one said it was o.k to have a loaded gun or shoot from the rig. If people are driving private roads and shooting coyotes so be it. AS long as they are not shooting from a rig or having a loaded gun in the rig. Road hunting is not illegal. Shooting from a rig is and having a loaded firearm in the rig is. You can get out of a rig and shoot a coyote after you see one driving around. There is no law that says you cant road hunt :chuckle:

Yes that is my play for my day off today. Zeroed my new 22-250 yesterday. I might become my new favorite rifle. Nice to have something that groups well. This year I might try a few new areas I have scouted on Google Earth.
Yeah I zeroed my .25-06 on Sunday because I missed a coyote on Saturday night... My zero wasn't the issue, so it must have been operator error... Going to re-verify it again this weekend, just to be sure.
Love the .25-06 for coyotes, but it's not so good on pelts... But it groups well, and is nice and flat so the hold over isn't too dramatic.

Welcome! The key word is FUN! Don't worry about being the best caller--just do what I do: "What would I sound like if I was a coyote?" :chuckle: You'd be surprised what they answer to! :tup:

I have a reservation at the Motel 6. For 2 nights at the WPHA rate, it is just over $100.00. Currently have a vacant double bed in the room.

I'll give you $100 for the bed. EZJEEP probably won't let me sleep much anyway.... :chuckle: :chuckle:
