Hey guys, may i try to put some of the rumors to rest about the st. francis hunt. let me start by introducing myself as i am the head coordinator for the midwest coyote calling event in st. francis, ks. I can say with complete confidence that there has never been and never will be a contestant or team that has flew in to our hunt! st. francis is a small town and i would be the first to know if that did happen! I am good friends with the family that runs the airport and they monitor all plains in and out. Contestants must drive to compete in our hunt. As for the cheating, it has reared it's ugly head in our hunt a few years back and was delt with. Now the top 5 place teams are given a questionare. The team members are seperated and have to answer the same questions about their hunt. If the answers are not very simular it throws up a red flag and i then question them further to determine if they are cheating. This has stoped the pooling of coyotes and stoped the teammates from spliting up. We also temperture probe all coyotes. They are inspected by a 30 year plus trapper and the local vetinarian. Then all prize money is held for 1 week waiting for the inspection of the fur buyer to give me his findings of any trapping, dog running, or shotgunning from vehicles. Then and only then is the prize money awarded to the honest teams. I feel we go to the greatest lengths of any contest to keep honesty and integrity in the hunt. I even require that the team members give their drivers license number and the state issued, if the need arises that they need to be checkout even before the hunt starts. I have been to many contests and have witnessed some of the different issues that are related to contests. Cheaters have to work super hard to pull the wool over my eyes. I love the sport of coyote calling, and the competative side of it also. Both offer fantastic fun and entertainment to the coyote caller, and also the chance for people to gather with their piers and talk about the sport that they are commited to. The rotten cheating callers are learning that the midwest hunt is no place to try to fool some of the finest coyote callers and people in the nation. Thanks for the opertunity to answer some of your questions, and i would be glad to address any other questions that are out there.
PS....in about 10 days i hope to be anouncing new news about the MIDWEST COYOTE CALLING EVENT that will make it very apealing to all contestants and make it (i belive) the only coyote calling contest of it's kind in the nation!!

Predator Sniper,
Really, really appriciate that information. This answers many questions and puts a lot to rest.
As I said before, this contest has the reputation of doing all it can to stop the foul play, but I had no idea you had gone to this lenght.
This is good news.
I think my partner will be glad to hear this and I may convince him it's worth the effort.
See you there.

From my personal experience, I know MONEY and EGO'S are the biggest reasons for cheating in any predator hunting contest. You're not going to stop a team from cheating. The best you can do is catch them in a lie and the best way to do that is the Polygraph for all winning teams.
Hunting in competition is not only fun, it leaves life long memories,win or lose. You met friends you'll always remember and learn a few things in the process. Don't let a few low life wannabes stop you from the experience of competition.
Guys, I'd love to compete again myself but we don't have it here anymore. The one thing I do have is memories, great ones. So get your butts out there and kick some lol, /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif Good Hunting

Danny, well said and I appreciate the post!!
I believe this thread has ran it's course, the mud slinging will only continue from this point. If you wanna continue the conversation the way it is now, take it to personnal e-mail.
So now, the ball is in your court. Either compete in the contest or not, it's your choice.
