I don't know the guys at all either, but it seems to me that it is hard to cheat in a coyote hunt????? I'm I wrong here, or just blind???
Each contest has its own set of rules. Here is an example of one i've been in a few times..
#1 All coyotes mustbe called, no freebies like one standing next to the road. I'm sure its been done or they would'nt have the rule for it.
Some guys got caught a few years back that where just driveing along the drainages or shooting them up out of the sloughs and then killing them..
#2 Teams must stay together dureing hunt, its not to hard for a team to split up on a ranch or two, one guy takes the ATV and the other uses the truck..
I noticed at check in alot of teams showed up with two vehicles, so who's to say if they hunted together or just split up to make more stands and call more areas..
Some contests require a judge to ride along with each team, which is a good idea if you can find enough judges..
