Title: Re: eastside guys.....lets get a song dog tourney going
Post by: boneaddict on December 24, 2007, 08:11:14 AM: I would be all about it, but the odds of it working out with my upcoming work schedule, highly unlikely for me. I am still trying to coordinate a shed hunt with one of the boys on here.

Post by: high country on December 24, 2007, 09:52:30 AM: I figure we could give it a week for everyone to speak up and find some middle ground and a neutral time. I am as far east as one can get but am willing to meet as far as say.....moses..ish.

Title: Re: eastside guys.....lets get a song dog tourney going
Post by: jackelope on December 24, 2007, 12:05:15 PM: if us red-headed wetside stepchildren are invited, i'd be in depending on the schedule, and i'd probably have a couple other guys as well. will this be a team effort?
maybe a little eastside-westside blue/gray rivalry thing??
i wouldn't want to step on any eastsiders toes... ;)

Post by: Krusty on December 24, 2007, 12:41:41 PM: Hunting contests (even amateur ones) are strictly prohibited by Washington law.

The last one somebody tried to put together, was shut down by the WSP and WFDW officers, during the pre-dawn sign-up.

Most attendees were held by these law enforcement groups until midday, while they ran checks, made threats, etc.

I'd advise you not to do anything like this "in the public eye", and to term it a "rendezvous", or a camp out, or something along those lines (like was done in 2001), with no mention of "contests".

The winner only stands a chance of winning a hefty fine, and so do all the others involved.

Joined a couple of 'yote tourney's, and never seen a Fish & Wildlife Officer.....don't think they care as long as everyone is safe.

Post by: wastickslinger on December 24, 2007, 08:12:26 PM: It can be done. There is one in Warden every year. It has to be properly sanctioned. I don't know what it takes though? I'm in if it works out.
Title: Re: eastside guys.....lets get a song dog tourney going
Post by: high country on December 24, 2007, 08:20:55 PM: heck the way I see it if it is just for honor what is the harm.

as for east vs west......what kind of odds are you lookin' for. I'll give ya 3 ta 5, but when you lose you have give up your microsoft stocks and buy wheat.
Title: Re: eastside guys.....lets get a song dog tourney going
Post by: Red Dawg on December 24, 2007, 08:40:05 PM: how would you do it. do you find a lot of public land or do you find a lot of private land owners who want the dawgs dead. i may be able to help with some private land that is exceptional dawg hunting. we will 20 or so per day that we hunt. obviously some days are better than others but it is a very good area. about 6 sqare miles.
Title: Re: eastside guys.....lets get a song dog tourney going
Post by: Krusty on December 24, 2007, 11:27:57 PM: BearmanRick,

Have you got some actual words to say, or care to interpret your post?

Littletoes,

That's the funny thing about the WDFW, and the anti groups that might motivate the WDFW... they never seem to do the same thing twice.

I offered my advice based on personal experience, and my understanding of the laws. That's the best I can do.

Good luck with that.

Krusty :hello:

Post by: huntnphool on December 25, 2007, 12:01:08 AM: Thanks for the heads up Krusty, I think your right on. If its going to happen it shoud be kept a little quiet. In the PCA we have car tours that we have to call Show and Shines and its all for legal reasons. Maybe we could call it a Shoot and Shine :chuckle: First get together and shoot our guns then shine them all together afterwards ;)
Title: Re: eastside guys.....lets get a song dog tourney going
Post by: high country on December 25, 2007, 06:32:02 AM: normally around here we meet at a spot at a time in the AM and meet again somewhere by a set time in the PM.....most fresh dead dogs takes the "honor"

I HOPE MY SCOPE WILL COME HOME TO ME BY THEN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Post by: Red Dawg on December 25, 2007, 10:42:08 AM: lets have a barbeque and do some hunting and compare notes. all in good fun. i dont think it has to be a "contest" but a few guys showing each other their guns. i think it would be a good time.

Post by: jackelope on December 25, 2007, 11:28:53 AM: i'd go ahead and leave the beemer at home and run my pickmup truck over there...some of us have them on this side too...oh and i already own wheat too...no microsoft stock here... ;)
Title: Re: eastside guys.....lets get a song dog tourney going
Post by: Red Dawg on December 25, 2007, 01:19:15 PM: east side will provide beef for the grill and wet side can bring crab. sounds good. maybe even some organic salad or something.

don't think they care as long as everyone is safe.

Whether they (the WDFW) care, or care to enforce the law, remains to be seen.

WAC 232-12-169...

Unless the terms and conditions, of the preceding passage of law, were met... the law was broken, even if no enforcement action or charges came from it.

Post by: boneaddict on December 26, 2007, 06:28:45 AM: eastside coyotes are bigger...some go 150 pounds. ;)

(That might really get the non-sanctioned-non organized event participants in trouble though)

Post by: bearhunter59 on December 26, 2007, 08:06:57 PM: I'm sure someone can look it up and quote it for us, but I beleive I recall recently reading in the new law passed for conduct on WDFW land, any gathering of more than 30 people on WDFW owned or controlled lands, requires a permit from them....ain't that some BS!!! guess we'd have to keep a count and once more than 30 people showed up we'd have to ask them to stand a way from us, that way they could be considered their own group.... :chuckle: :chuckle:

Not only WDFW lands, but DNR as well. I am not sure of the number, but DNR has had limit/permit type deal for a long time. I just took a quick look and could not find it.

Post by: high country on December 27, 2007, 06:43:16 AM: the good news is there is never gonna be more than 2 guys on the same piece of land....no matter how many holes only one guy/team gets to claim it.

Post by: MuleySniper on December 27, 2007, 10:37:35 AM: wastickslinger and I did a derby last year and over 70 teams entered. We hunted the whole night (admist my food poisining :puke:) We hardly ran into anyone. Every once in awhile we would see a spotlight or two a mile away or so.

Post by: littletoes on December 27, 2007, 08:08:38 PM: Participated in a couple of larger turneys, but they are getting so expensive ($60 per Person), so I haven't in a while, but while hunting I never saw anyone. Folks scatter, meet up at a designated spot, then meet up later in the day and show off your catch.

Sure was fun though, and got to meet a bunch of good guys.

Title: Re: eastside guys.....lets get a song dog "non organized or sanctioned event" going
Post by: Red Dawg on December 31, 2007, 02:23:41 PM: im good about any weekend. are we thinkin about a 24 hour or 36 hour hunt. i think the basin from moses to othello royal city area would be good.

Title: Re: eastside guys.....lets get a song dog "non organized or sanctioned event" going
Post by: tlbradford on January 03, 2008, 04:49:49 PM: I say 5:00 am check-in and a 6:00 pm weigh-in. Two man teams, no splitting up to hunt. This way folks could enjoy a nice campfire together and maybe some dinner. If this is just for fun, I don't really want to stay awake for 30 hours straight.
