please have your wife upload the carnage afterwards, and just know, you will be missed, i will defend you to all the hacks that call you not so bright after you die  :tup:
I asked her she says "Have my babies first then you can wrestle with bears"
I took that as a challenge!

Smossy the question was answered in your other thread.

About bears????? O_o
Bears are game animals.

(3) It is unlawful to hunt game birds or game animals, except bullfrogs, in a manner other than with a firearm, a bow and arrow, or by falconry, except in those designated areas where crossbows are allowed.
Nature. It's cheaper than therapy.

Just say you weren't hunting with the spear. You were just going for a walk and the bear attacked. Luckily you had a spear to defend yourself.

Same excuse I think my brother was going to use if he got caught shooting grouse with a slingshot.

I didn't say you couldn't; I just said it was not legal. ;)

Some times it's best to read the regs before asking questions, if not found then ask.

The regs at times can be confusing.  :twocents:

If you petition WDFW you may get an exemption to hunt with a spear. Its not like some states dont allow it. There is precedent out there. I would like to try and hunt with an atlatl. Good luck.

In my opinion thats one of the best inventions old bushmen ever came up with, I ABSOLUTELY love the atlatl. Ive actually built one personally and had a blast with it.
