You could potentially be cited for driving offroad, but you would not be cited for having a loaded firearm in a vehicle if you adhere to the RCW.

Thanks. I missed the reference in your previous post. Also it took my reading comprehension a while to understand the "from upon" part of the sentence.

That RCW doesn't say anything about hunting. In the hunting regs it still says it is unlawful to hunt from a motor vehicle. It's in the Prohibited hunting methods section.

Sure, I don't see why that wouldn't be legal. You would pretty much have to hunt only on private land though, in order to get much use out of it.
