Can I use laser sights or night vision devices to hunt?
It is illegal to hunt deer and elk with the aid of infrared night vision equipment or with laser sights (not to include range finders) capable of projecting a beam onto the target, while in possession or control of a firearm, bow and arrow, muzzleloading firearm or crossbow. This rule does not currently apply to other big game or small game.There are now new-generation telescopic sights that include range finders that calculate an aiming point on the objective lens of a scope based upon the distance to target and ammunition being used. These devices are currently legal because the aiming point is not projected onto the target.
I pulled this right off the fish and game website and if I interpreted it correctly then it is ok to use illuminated sights like the Eotech.
Exactly. I have the reg book open in front of me (Dad and I were discussing some things this evening).
Page 78, Prohibited Hunting Methods #12. It is illegal to hunt

It says nothing of hunting bears with that method. And under the Fall Black Bear General Seasons, under the 'Hunting Method' section, it states "Hunters may use any lawful big game modern firearm, archer, or muzzleloader equipment for hunting black bear. The use of hounds and/or bait to hunt black bears is prohibited statewide."
