is it Legal?? i interpret the regs as its ok

[Buckmark]

Well thank you for this thread now i know why our state has to spend millions per year on stuff like signs and commercials to tell everyone that you also have to wear a seatbelt at night....       

Really are you sure? as i read the WAC on seatbelts the law uses the term "Motor" vehicle and i was always taught that a motor runs on electricity and an engine runs on a combustable fuel source, Since i am not driving an electric powered vehicle i am not operating a "motor" vehicle as i interpret the law..Very ambigous i would say, i think i will ask a state patrolman to clarify why it says "motor"...

Nicely done

I hate to pile on, but I’m just imagining what that conversation in the field is going to be like…

“Morning, Son.  I’m going to need to see your tag and licen… Hey – is that cell phone mounted on our bow?!?  Don’t you know it’s illegal to have any electrical equipment or electric device(s) except for illuminated nocks, attached to the bow or arrow while hunting?”

“Yes sir, but this is not electrical.  It is ELECTRONIC.  The regs don’t specifically state that ELECTRONICS can’t be attached to the bow, so it’s open to interpretation – you follow me?”

“No, I don’t.  It runs on electrical batteries, therefore is not legal to have attached to your bow.”

“About that – I was thinking that since I could hold my phone and my bow at the same time, meaning we’re all attached together and that’s legal, I’d just go ahead and cut out the middleman and attach it to the bow.”

“Touching a bow by holding it in your hand does not mean that you are attached to your bow.  You’re just touching it.”

“Well, that’s open to interpretation, sir.  I’m actually pretty attached to this bow.  I’ve had it for a while and it is like an extension of my arm.  Same with my phone – I get attached to my things.  And touching may not actually MEAN mounting, but it sure leads to it – ask my girlfriend.”

“Son, I’m going to need you to put your weapon down and step away from it…”

Or something like that.  I'm actually kind of looking forward to reading about this in the "Officer's Notebook" in a few months

You Hunt WA guys are really starting to tick me off.

Just about every week now someone comes on here with a legal question, and what happens? He gets corrected. “No, you can’t bait bears.” “No, you can’t put electronics on a bow”.

Would you just chill?

I’ve waited nearly 20 years for a quality bull permit. If I can just turn in a few poachers, I’m in the running. And just when I think I’ve got a live one, you guys go and spoil it all for me by educating the poor soul.

Skillet you should be a sitcom writer.  That  is some funny stuff right there.

[Buckmark]

touching/ mounted its all up for interpretation.. i cant spell....  its still ON YOUR BOW... maybe not permanantly but for the moment you mounted on your bow cause its touching it....

So along with skillets snyopses of what may be the conversation with the wdfw in field check i have to ask this.
*
If your buddy is helping your retrieve/drag out your deer and you touch him with your shoulder have you then mounted him?
And if touching is mounting then man i need to update my known partners list...

That was awesome Bob I thought you were taken his side on the subject and was shocked when I first started reading it.
