Clarification

If the opinion from Olympia is wrong, I still don't see why any game warden would choose to use the no electronics rule to write someone up for having a camera on their bow. I just don't see it happening. What purpose would it serve? A camera on a bow is not hurting anything.

A lot of cameras have view finders that can be used in aiding the hunter.

 Tagging. Curious how this turns out.

The unofficial word from more than one source is 100% cite.................

[Special T]

IMO its not  worth doing... MAYBE if you filmed in in your own county so you don't have to travel far to defend yourself. I would guess that a warden would cite you and a judge would let you off. Figure the cost of the video a couple of days off work to show up in court.  I'm guessing the infraction is a misdemeanor and that means you have to show up at LEAST 2x unless you plead guilty and pay the fine at the first one.  Remember that if you are cited YOU LOSE even if you win in court.    I think it would be a great way to video tape your hunt tho.

They would take your gear as evidence.  Even if you win, you may have a tough time getting said gear back.
As others have stated, it would not be worth the battle.

I live in a county that has one game officer, If I really wanted to film my hunt from my bow, I'd talk to him first and get his interp.
If'n ya don't wanna get poop on your shoe, don't step in it.

INFO; range finders do project a beam, ya just cant see it.

I think that was everyone but the legal representative from WDFW.

Glad to hear she made the correction. (I wonder what her Hunt WA member name is?)

[turkeyfeather]

That's a good lesson for you and all new members. Listen to the huntwa brotherhood. We know more than WDFW?

At least she apologized this time.

Although it would have made for a fun thread when you got cited and your gear confiscated.

It's amazing to me how much bad information you get from the Dept and it's not just WDFW, I've gotten wrong information from IDFG as well.  Really is shocking sometimes.

Some feel that the IDFG was in cahoots with USFWS with covering up the real numbers of wolves and the true impact they were having on ungulate populations. I hope it's gotten better.
