eastmans's bowhunting jounal washington hunt

[hughjorgan]

My thoughts are the go pro does nothing as far as giving him a advantage to harvest a animal. No big deal to me

Who cares about the go pro, if anything it would make it harder to balance the bow.

I still want to see a picture of the deer....

If he violated the rules he should be sited accordingly. I do not agree with all the speed limits I see but I'm sure eligible for a ticket when I go over them. Theres a value in enforcing laws that are in place wether you agree with them or not.

The rules are not God.  I would never wish for another hunter to be ticketed over a technicality.  Now poaching?  Sure!  This?  Nope.

I really think there are bigger problems in this world than this.. 

Cant a guy post a pic on huntwa anymore without the critique of so many do gooders!!!   Some people need to get a life, quit worrying about others. 

Lots of pics are not shared on here anymore because of this nonsense.. 

He broke the law, hell I broke three or four before 8 am this morning!  Call the cops!!!

Said nothing about "wishing" it or that I even give a rats it's on his bow. But if there is a blatant violation of any law put in print and being pretty irrefutable evidence  of the violation I would hope our game department would hold them to the same standard as if they were to bump I to him on the field with the same condition. Why should he be exempt?

[jackelope]

I agree with Longwalker. The law is annoying and pointless....but it's kind of not the smartest thing in the world to put pictures of a game violation into a magazine.

It seems obvious that the guy doesn't know he can't legally mount a go pro on his bow or he would not have submitted the photo to a national magazine. The same seems true for the magazine, they can't possibly know all the laws for every state, why would they even consider a gopro on a bow not being legal? I see it as a technicality, if a warden wants to issue the guy a warning that would seem appropriate, a ticket would seem extreme to me. Just my

Nice buck. 

Thanks for posting

Put a picture of it on Huntwa and the cops will come knocking.  They'll either take you to jail or shoot you.

Are you sure it was in Washington? I don't have the issue, but in that picture you posted the first word in the 4th sentence on the right page says Idaho, and in a sentence that looks to be something along the lines of "hiking in some of Idahos roughest country."

Thats just part of the story.  He shot that buck in Washington after hunting in Idaho.

That is indeed a Washington buck.

Well, sucks for that guy. If they come after guys on here for posting pics, I don't know why they wouldn't go after guys that post them in magazines. It's a stupid law, but it's still the law. If the guy is a biologist for the state, he's got no excuse, he should know better.
