Title: (update)! lets help out a foreign exchange student that is a hunt wa memeber
Post by: NW-GSP on October 21, 2015, 06:50:38 AM
The member is johhanes_from, he is interested in going out waterfowl hunting and is located in the north Seattle area. I met with him yesterday and filled out the paperwork for him to differ the hunter safety program. I am going to do my best to get him out hunting as much as I can. If someone lives near the north Seattle area and is also able to take him out that would be awesome. I live in Arlington so if someone would be interested in picking him up and meeting with me and duck hunting that would be great also. I have decoys and a boat.

If I was on the wet side, I would help.  If yall make it over to the dry side let me know.  I don't have a lot of waterfowl places to go, but I do have some nice quail spots.

I think this is awesome and would totally help out. I just have one word of warning and it is that I believe NW-GSP has to be at the hunt for johhanes_from to legally hunt since you signed the paperwork for the hunter safety program. At least that is how read how it worked. I hope he gets out and you can share some of the success here. Good luck guys!

Count me in.

johhanes_from and I exchanged PM's a week or two ago. Once the out of state birds come in, I'll be taking him out as a guest in our lease but probably won't be until mid-late Nov.

I believe he's in West Seattle and I work in DT Seattle so it's an easy meet up for me. I don't have any waterfowl options between now and then and still plan on chasing deer.  PM me if you'd like to coordinate NW-GSP.

Where is your foreign exchange student from?  Is he proficient with firearms?  First time hunting?  Any additional details?

He had posted on the hunt WA site that he was interested in hunting while he was here. He is from Denmark and has experience hunting there.

Not to hijack the thread, I think its great you guys can get together and treat the kid to a hunt or 2.
Can an exchange student own or possess a firearm? If not how do you get around I-594, would it be legal to let him use one of your shotguns on a hunt?

This is awesome! I don't have many spots and what I do know of I am still trying to figure everything out, the guy i used to hunt with and rely on stopped hunting a few years back so I'm learning as I go. So I may not be the best person to host. I do however have a couple doz decoy and a dog. He's pretty young but can get it done. If I can help out let me know.

You can let someone use your shotgun if you are out in the field and they are present.  Techinically you couldn't just provide him with a shotgun and he takes off hunting on his own.
With him also do the differed hunter ed, he has to always accompany someone.  Who every he is with, will have to loan him a shotgun unless he brought one of his own.  But I am not sure what stipulation accompany foreign exchange students on buy or bring firearms to various locations.

As an accompanying hunter you must be at least 18 years of age. In addition, you must have had a valid Washington hunting license for each of the previous three (3) years. Be sure to include your WILD identification number. Applications will not be processed without the WILD number.

Remember that you are required to provide direct supervision over the deferred hunter. You must remain within normal voice and vision communication at all times.

Take your new responsibility as an accompanying hunter seriously!

If either a deferred licensee or the accompanying hunter is convicted of a fish and wildlife violation, the Department of Fish and Wildlife may revoke all hunting licenses and tags of one or both the deferred license and the accompanying hunter



RCW 9.41.175

(b) If required under federal law, an approved United States department of justice ATF-6 NIA application and permit for temporary importation of firearms and ammunition by nonimmigrant aliens; and

(c)(i) A valid hunting license issued by a state or territory of the United States; or

(ii) An invitation to participate in a trade show or sport shooting event being conducted in this state, another state, or another country that is contiguous with this state.

(2) A citizen of Canada may carry or possess any firearm so long as he or she possesses:

(a) Valid documentation as required for entry into the United States;

(b) If required under federal law, an approved United States department of justice ATF-6 NIA application and permit for temporary importation of firearms and ammunition by nonimmigrant aliens; and

(c)(i) A valid hunting license issued by a state or territory of the United States; or

Hello everybody  :hello:

This is pretty cool!! People around here are very accommodating and helpfull!!
As NW-GSP wrote we got the paperwork signed and now the only thing left should be to get it to the wildlife department :)
It's awesome to see that there is so many people willing to help!! I'm pretty sure that I will have a car in a few weeks so that i can get up there :IBCOOL: As somebody wrote on this topic... NW-GSP who signed the differed application has to be there for me to hunt. But it seems like there are a few guys who would like to join on a hunt and i think that's awesome!!! For me it's not important to shoot a lot of birds! It's more about getting to meet people who hunt in this area (and hopefully shoot some birds with them ;) )

Thanks again!

I could be wrong but I believe that part of the law only applies to licensed gun/shooting clubs. Not hunting wild game in the field.

Johannes and I went out duck hunting this morning and had a great time. We ended up with three teal, the ducks just did not seem to want to decoy. He is very safe with firearms and hope some other members  will be able to get him out hunting also.
