i dont have money to but something differnt then a whisker bisquit and get ripped for that....

You are cracking me up, seriously he was not ripping you about your whisker biscut...he was making a reference kinda of like making sure you wrap your fishing pole before trying for bearded clams, and the clams need to be legal..
Do ya need a drawing for reference?? :dunno:

Plenty of things can be filmed with a head mount instead of mounting a camera right on your "equipment".

You could just circumvent this whole ordeal by finding a buddy to film you.... Less you have to worry about, plus its somebody to help pack your animal out... Just a thought.

Sorry for the offense MattySuto.  I was just amused by a post titled "Is it legal???" with a photo of an item marketed under the risque brand name Whisker Biscuit.  Trophy Ridge is a fine manufacturer of archery accessories, and I believe the aforementioned Whisker Biscuit arrow rest is legal in every way for archery hunting in Washington.   

I am hanging my head in shame in the gutter.

As long as we have the habitat, we can argue forever about who gets to kill what and when.  No habitat = no game.

If wdfw says it's legal I'll be one pissed off dude.  What's the point of even having regs it seems so simple to me no electronics.

i even spoke with a field officer to he is pretty laid back and said he sees no harm in this.... he stated that the regs need to be updated or revised because of technology these days... theres no advantage to me by useing it... he also cracked a joke saying just tell them you have it mounted there so you dont loose your cell phone while out hunting... that way you dont miss your wifes calls youl lbe able to see when she calls you cause it will be in your sights at all times.... i think ill use that excuse

There is no way a game warden is going to say it is not against the law.  Now, it is possible that if a warden talks to you in the field, that he might take pity on you and not write you up for it, but I just can't see any way in hell that he would tell you that it is anything but illegal.

Like someone else said, it is black and white in the regs.  It isn't even a shade of gray........plain and simple, it is illegal to have electrical equipment mounted to your bow. :twocents:
May I always be the kind of person my dog thinks I am.

He still didn't say it was legal. There's a big difference to me in them saying " I see no harm in it",  and saying " go ahead it's perfectly legal".

I'm surprised he said that.  They're not all laid back... obviously the intent of the law is to prevent you from having an advantage via electronic technology.  A camera recording doesn't do that... but the rangefinder app does.  And the fundamental fact it is an electronic device, thereby illegal.

I don't have a dog in the fight, but still interesting.  :dunno:

You do know that you cannot enter any animal into pope and young record books with electronics on your bow or arrow. And just because technology has changed and wdfw might be behind it doesn't make it right to change the law depending on ones belief that it should be legal.
