Eastern Grey Squirrels are legal in WA?

[Ductsquatch]

Sometimes I hate the way WA writes their Game Hunting Pamphlets as to what is and isn't ok. Modern FireArms Deer and Elk.....not too many questions.............BUT.....almost ALL the other species, sometimes its up for interpretation, if you ask me.
So I figure to ask the people I think really know their shiznitt........YOU GUYS.
Eastern Grey Squirrels are invasive here in WA and from what I UNDERSTAND....you can hunt them. All the others however I think are off limits.
Anyone that knows more than that might post here and let me know....

Must be a lot in Tacoma  Buy a pellet gun and put a few in your freezer

Lady next door feeds them in her bird feeder on my fence. They take the peanuts and bury them in my tomato buckets......sometimes killing the tomato plant...I am sure I will have weapons restrictions........ ......but I got a plan for that.....

Even a pellet gun ..? I have one and it takes care of the crows that wake me up every morning ...I killed thousands of squirrels as a kid but now I have 7 I feed in my yard ...my wife would kill me if they came up missing

Mine would too, but I figure the ones in the neighbors yard should be free game right?

I have got a ton in my yard and multiple air rifles... would backyard squirrels be worth eating?

Eastern grey squirrell is legal year round with you guessed it a small game licensce. According to wdfw.can't find it anywhere in any reg so I called.mighty tasty but air guns are illegal.

Eastern Gray Squirrels are a non-native species. There are no seasons and no limits.

Why they illegal  ALL I FORGOT WE LIVE IN WASHINGTON ...But since there is no season for them and they do not see them as regulated game then air gun should be just fine

I live in Tacoma. Almost downtown.
One night my cat was outside raising a fuss like he was being eaten alive. I come flying outside and he is on the cab of my pick up just crying like he was insane......standing against the truck, head as hi as the bottom of the window was the biggest opossum I have ever seen. Trying to eat my cat.....shoulda killed that thing and tossed it in the bus lane.

I called and asked WDFW, and they said they are not legal for GAME species.  So, I asked about pest species, and they said there was no restrictions.  So, if they are open year  round, and they are an invasive species, it would make sense to me that they are a pest.  I say shoot 'em if they are tearing up your stuff or chasing birds away from the feeder.
