1.This year no more than 8 animals will be counted for points.
2.This year you may hunt any where in the state of Texas; on private land you have permission to hunt on or state land where varmint hunting is legal.
3.This is a calling contest. This year all animals must be called. A called animal is an animal that you have not seen and comes up after you start calling. Also if you spot an animal you must come to complete stop and wait 20 seconds then start calling and then you may shoot the animal.
4.You may not bait or put out anything or have someone else put out anything for drawing in bobcats or coyotes. If an animal dies on its own and no one moves it you may call or hunt by it. If the landowner moves his dead livestock to an area for his convenience you can hunt by it.
5.When hunting out of a vehicle you must come to a complete stop before you can shoot any animal. No hunting out of boats or planes. Teams must use or hunt out of only one vehicle. Only hunting contestants are allowed in the vehicle while hunting. No four wheelers allowed. You may leave a back-up vehicle at gate.
6.No hunting on public roads. (Dirt or paved)
7.All animals must be shot from land you have permission to hunt on.
8.No pooling of animals. Only animals killed by team members during tournament hours will count.
9.You may not add weight to your animals. They must be dry for the big animal pot. You can not shoot an animal in a live trap.
10.Team members must hunt on same land but may split up on that same land while hunting. This year you can stop once and let a person or people out to hunt and drive on and then return to pick them up then go to the next spot.
11.People under 18 must have parent’s written permission to hunt and take the polygraph test.
12.There will be 3 polygraph tests given. Anyone winning money may be required to take a test. If you fail the polygraph test no money will be awarded to your team. All team members must be present at the weigh-in.
13.At least one team member must be at sign ups to pay entry fees, listen to rules read. Other members of team cannot start hunting until this hunter joins the team. No one leaves sign ups until all rules have been read and final word is given. You cannot fly out to where you hunt.
