Shoot from the road?
buckfvr:
Since the RCW and WACs dont mention hunting, but the game laws do, Id look for an answer from WDFW to avoid a ticket....unless of course you are standing up on this as a LEO with first hand knowledge.......I dont think anyone on here is wanting to have a need to hire a lawyer to get a citation dropped.......

With all due respect, if you want a legal opinion from WDFW you should ask them.
My opinion is that the revision to allowing shooting from upon a vehicle is too new to have been tested and tried in court. I would not do it.

The "game laws" are RCW 77, WAC 232 and WAC 220.
Bob is correct in everything he is saying.
When you are on USFS lands there is also a federal law regarding shooting from, or across USFS roads, doesn't matter if you are hunting or not.
RCW 77.15.460 is really a unique law in that it is in the fish and wildlife RCW, but doesn't just apply to hunting.

Thanks greatly Bigtex.....................So in a scenario, it would be legal to have a portable shooting bench in the back of a pickup and shoot from it regardless whether sighting in or hunting....? Or say stopping on a quad per thelaw, engine off and say shooting rabbit or grouse????
