yes, maybe we can have a specific shotgun season, then lets make a specific trad bow season, and a specific hand gun season, then we can legalize crossbows and make a specific crossbow season.  that way all the seasons will be so short everybody will HAVE to buy a multi season tag just to get time to hunt.

I think fixed income retirees should get free automatic multi season deer and elk.  So there.

I think the whole west side should be scatter(slug) gun only.. Due to all the thick vegetation most shots are within 30 yards anyways..unless you're glassing and hunting a 2 year old clear cut, which those are far and few these days.

Is pistol hunting allowed in "restristed" firearm areas... and... What are restricted areas?

Yes you can use a revolver with a barrel 4" or longer Must be a revolver, and at least 24 Cal. Its in the regs. I've hunted BT with a .357 before, and it wasn't too bad... its cool pistol hunting.

Does anyone know if the contender single shots in rifle cartridges apply to restricted areas?

Nope, can't use them.

Plenty of places that modern rifles are/would be safe and effective, even here in the islands....

Not that i doubt you Loki, But what do you have to back that up? The only reference in the regs i can see is" revolver like handguns" In the firearms restricted areas. pg 81 YET when discussing handgun hunting on page 76 it only states that 4 in of barrel and 24 cal center fire for big game except cougar. I would read that as Semi autos are legal in areas other than restricted firearm areas.  I don't think it is clear from the regs how a single shot falls into this...
In archery we have something like the way of the superior man. When the archer misses the center of the target, he turns round and seeks for the cause of his failure in himself.

His answer was specifically for use in "firearm restriction" areas which limit handguns to "revolver-type handguns. While that term is not specifically defined anywhere, I believe most enforcement officers or judges would consider a single shot handgun to not be "revolver-type".
