Wonder If WA state will let me spear hunt a bear.

[Smossy]

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

The regs at times can be confusing. 

Plus, I like to keep it interesting, Keep people laughing at my expense

just say your native, then you can spear it with a fork if you wish, remember this is Washington 

Oh right, I can spear it with a harpoon, then blast it with a .50 cal to put it out of its misery!
Oh wait or is that whales? Hmm whale/bear, Tomato, Tamato!

About bears?? O_o


then why can you leave the meat to the yotes? Not a game violation to let it lay.

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.

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.

Don't laugh to hard, a North Cascades National Park summer worker of the male type called in once on the trail asking for help because a grouse was attacking his head when he tried to walk bye it! 

Oh I loved all the stories from there when my wife was a park ranger.

I think you can.  You just have to use a really big 'arrow' to spear the bear.  It has to have the minimum weight and cutting edge.  I would say you probably need a bow with you that has min draw weight/etc.  Then just spear it with your 'arrow'.  I don't know that it says the 'arrow' actually has to be shot from the bow.

If a bear why not squatch?

I woulda thrown my 89 inch spear at it saying it was in self defense!

Man, that bow would have to the size of a trebuchet to launch a spear that big lol!

Wait, is there size requirements for bows? Hmmm

Like others have said, it is illegal in WA. Several years ago someone posted a youtube video of them doing it in Pierce County. Didn't end up well for them...

Lmao. Only an 18 inch long broadhead, you know... No biggy.

Weve established that, I would never imagine to do something as far as breaking the law of something Im trying to turn into a lifestyle. I can still dream though! Just like as americans we dream to be free, But never truly are
