Contest covers 7 counties this year to allow a larger hunting area, thinking of a BBQ following (not sure yet), raffle prizes from FoxPro (E-Caller), Edge by Expedite (decoys), Alpen, Burris, Buck, Mathews, WhoJobee and I am sure more will come.
Should be a great time. I will be posting the flier, rules and all other info as we get it ready.
Those of you who went last year remember how good this event was. Hope to see you again this year.

One of these years....I'd like to enter a derby. I just hear so many horror stories that it keeps me clear of em. I prefer the "just for fun" types.You should enter Gringo. This is our third year and after the first two we have never received a complaint of any cheating or fishy stuff. We feel we put forth the effort to make sure its all on the up and up. Plus you get to run into some of the guys from the forum. It really is a good time.

Besides payouts for top performers, we have side 5 side pots and raffle prizes from FoxPro, Edge by Expedite, Buck, Alpen, Burris and others.....
Looking to be a another GREAT classic....
Hope to see you all there . . .

Those of you that want the info, we just finished putting it together. Send me a PM with your E-Mail and I will forward to you a flier, rules and entry form. As Jarrod said, this is our third year and it gets better every year. We do take a lot of time to make it as fool proof as possible and have done very well so far. We follow WDFW rules very close.

The first year you put this hunt on, at sign up you had some crosshair WSPHA stickers. What's a guy gotta do to get another one or two? If you had them at sign up for the members to buy I'm sure they would go faster than educated yote!
I got them. PM me and I will send you one or you can get another at the Classic.

You can do what ever you want with them. Last year most went to local furriers. If you want yours, keep them. All we ask is that they are properly disposed of or taken care of.

If anyone is interested I will tan a coyote hide for you if you give me two and let me keep the other. Private message me. I have experience and my last one turned out great!
You should show up to the Classic on Sunday at final weigh in time and see if you get some takers. I am sure a few will also just give them to you. Worth checking out?

One thing that you guys might do is give out numbers to people when they show up. So the guys who get there early are first in line for blocks. Just a idea but keeps people from showing up right at startup time and then pushing to be in front of the line when others have been there for hrs.

We will do our best to help everyone in a timely manner. I appreciate the guys that are putting in the miles for the classic an understand you guys need to get to your ground ASAP. Thanks for all your interest. It's going to be awesome once again.

100% understand bud no worries. I was thinking that if you just had like a clip board and had guys that showed up early sign in then at 5:30, the first people on the list would get to be first in line.
Say you show up at 4:00pm and you sign in at the number 1 spot. Then I show up at 5:15 and get the number 2 spot. When 5:30 rolls around and the handing out blocks starts. Number 1 gets to go first then number 2. It sounds like it will be good sized this year and it may help with getting blocks handed out.
Just bouncing ideas.

Since I'm so new to this, I was wondering if anyone had a packing list they they could share so that I can be prepared. Also, do ppl just sleep in their rigs or tents or what. I know I'm a rookie but I really don't understand how this is suppose to go. I understand the rules I think, it's everything else that I'm curious about. I figured as long as I brought everything I would need, the rest would work itself out. Thanks.
There's a Motel 6 right across the road. Last year you just had to tell them you are with the predator hunters, and they gave a discount. That's where I stayed. At my age, sleeping in a tent is not very inviting any more. :chuckle: If you already hunt coyotes, you will know what else to bring.....

Yea, I stayed in that Motel 6 last year. Not good for much but a quick nap and shower. Pretty low key, not many bugs, but doable. I am bringing the pretty lady also so we are upgrading a little this year.

Indications say that this is going to be a pretty big event. I am still sending info out to new folks every night. I am asking everyone to PLEASE respect the operations of the RDO facility. They are doing regular business that day and are courteous enough to allow us to use their facility. Please do not bother them until we are set up for registration which we will get set up as soon as we can. I am driving from the west side and should arrive about 5ish. Others will be there about the same time so we will have several lines for registration which starts at 5:30. If you think you will be late for registration (ends at 8:00pm) make sure you contact one of us prior to the completion of registration time.
We can send you registration forms prior to time via an attachment so they can be completed prior to your arrival. If you do, please make sure they are legible. You will also be able to choose side pots, calculate total fees etc. which would speed up the process. Make sure you have your wild ID (license) with you as we will be recording them on your registration form. We will have to physically see it.
As many of you know, this is a smooth run event, we have taken every possible avenue to make it an even match for all, and also have many top notch raffle prizes to boot.
I will be making an E-mail notification list off this years registrations for notification for future event. If you do not want to be on it, please let us know at time of registration.
If anyone has any questions, please ask jayrod9528 or myself and we will get you an answer as soon as we can. Also, if you have any suggestions on how we can improve future events, are ears are open.
Thanks to all of you for your interest..... and i will see you there. That means you too Heredoggydoggy :tup:

In the State of Washington, you are not allowed to have an entry fee associated with a hunting contest. Hence, we are having a membership drive. With your membership, you are allowed to participate in the WPHA Classic. :IBCOOL:

Third place 3
Not sure of the total somewhere around 30. Lots of ones and twos lots of teams did not check in. Good hunt fog was defiantly a challenge this year.

It was horrible this year for us. We saw 1 coyote in 24 hrs and only really got to hunt for about 3 hrs. The fog was so thick in the areas we were hunting.For sure on the fog. We got lucky for a few holes in the fog to get three, but we were completely shut down for night hunting. All in all that why it's hunting and not shooting. Thanks to all the teams that came out! You all are the reason we keep this thing going! Hope to have better weather next year. Thanks again.

Is it possible to add myself to the mail list, even though I didn't go to this?I think the email list is only to members. You can either check on here next fall/winter or join the wpha at www.washingtonpredatorhuntingassociation.com.

Jarrod has pretty much posted the results, but the total dogs taken was 31, down from the 51 from last year, but thank mother nature for that. With the raffle, I think every one left with some thing. Raul Duke took another FoxPro home.
I am starting a designated E-Mail list for future Washington PHA events and Classics so if you want to be on it, send me a message and I will get you listed.
I will also be sending out membership info to all of those that I can read theie E-Mail address on the registration form so if you do not get a message from me soon, please send me one and I will get you the membership info.
Items cooking: We are looking at holding an EGG SHOOT on the East side. We are looking at securing a range first than we will put the event together. It is a fun family event that all can participate in. We will be looking at a pre-registration process to see how many folks are interested.
If you attended the Classic this year, and have suggestions on how to improve next year, as I said, we are always open to suggestions. How to put the pay pots out, raffle items, teams, what have ya... let us know.
AGAIN.... THANK YOU ALL FOR PARTICIPATING, SUPPORTING THE WASHINGTON PHA, AND HAVING A GOOD TIME...
see ya next year ! ! ! !

Thank you Randy and Jayrod and everyone else that put time into this for a great hunt. I know the work involved with putting on a function and the work you guys put into it is much appreciated. Looking forward to it again next year, hope you keep the same time frame so it doesn't interfere with the PM Hunt.
