LAN YOUR HUNT,  SCOUT IT, MAP IT, PRACTICE, GET PERMISSION!

The World Championship Coyote Calling Contest® (WCCCC®) has only one rule on where teams can hunt and that is that “it is legal” for them to be there doing what they are doing.  Public, private, paid access, non paid access, fenced, not fenced open to all or closed to all but those permitted.  If the teams illegally trespass they will be disqualified immediately so do not do it.  Research where you are planning to hunt to be safe and sure. DO NOT TRESPASS!  DO NOT VIOLATE ANY LAWS! BE NICE AND COOPERATIVE TO EVERYONE! YOU ARE IN THE WORLD EVENT SO ACT LIKE IT!

TARGET DAMAGE AREAS BY COYOTES- We are forming a new partnership with  different State Game and Fish Departments, Native American Organizations,  farmers, ranch and land owners, livestock organizations, and Sportsman’s groups.  For conservation purposes we will be asking them for information on “Hot Spots” for predator damage problems they are experiencing.  We are NOT telling you to go there.  We are only providing the information for you to consider so you can help. We will provide any and all information on these target areas that they provide.  We hope the different contacts will provide details of the problem areas for Teams to consider hunting in order to help reduce the damage problems and get good results on the hunt.  It may be helpful for you to contact the different groups or individuals for more details that you may wish.  Monitor this page often for more details.

Again each team must decide on their own where to go, when, and the mode of transportation to use.  The event will only discuss your hunting location with you if there is a question about a violation reported.

 

SPECIAL TAKE- In some of our events we may have a special take that benefits the area near the Registration/Check-In/Banquet.  This special take will be announced for each event it applies too. As an example in 2015 the Arizona Game and Fish Department was experiencing problems of high cougar predation in a specific area and needs our help.  The WCCCC® would be providing the details of the area they need help in. In this case the cougar take will NOT be counted toward points for the WCCCC® event though. This would be a totally voluntary addition to the event  and a specific project of Arizona Game and Fish, Sportsman’s Groups like the Wild Sheep Foundation, the Deer Foundation, and more and not the WCCCC® event but we want to help. Any awards will come from the sponsoring groups and NOT the WCCCC®.

The deadly results from a cougar attack!

NOTE- The Arizona Game and Fish Department may be taking biological samples from any coyote takes in Arizona this year for research.  We may be asking members to track coyotes taken in Arizona to help them. Your specific hunting area will be protected though.  You will not be asked to disclose the exact location unless you want to of course.

NATIVE AMERICAN NATIONS DETAILS FOR HUNTING

Some a DO ALLOW HUNTING OF ANY KIND TOO! You MUST respect them and their residents at all times. The WCCCC® has no tolerance or humor for any disrespect to any of these great Nations and their wonderful people.
