Page 55 of last years regs. As long as original style caps fit on the nipple. No 209 primers. Idaho changed their ML regs for this year but back peddled a little on them. I might be wrong but I have not heard of any changes here in WA. Never have owned an inline, only sidelocks. At the risk of being flamed I wouldn't mind seeing some changes. |

Are you saying you can't use an inline during Washington ML seasons? I'm old and might be missing something. |

You asked if you could/couldn't use them for bear and I posted "you can use inlines for bears all season". Let me clarify my statement above. I was using inline in too broad of a sense. ;) First when I refer to inline I mean the 209 primer, rear loading, closed breach or scoped type. These are illegal for deer or elk during ML season. They are legal for bear all year long as well as for elk & deer during Modern firearm season in firearm restricted areas (as are shotguns). And yes, inlines that use percussion caps on the nipple are legal, but they must load from the muzzle and be open to the elements. Sorry for any confusion. :( |

The way I read the regs, on page 13 of last years pamphlet it says, yes you can use a ML during modern deer but it must meet the the regulations on page 55. No 209 primers and caps must be exposed to the elements. Under firearm restriction area hunt, page 57, your ML must meet equipment restrictions. You cannot use the newer break open style that use 209 primers and have a scope for any hunts here in Wa. There are some exceptions for scopes but the average hunter can't use one. Don't want to start problems but I am pretty sure they are illegal, the newer break open ones, all the way around. I run into game dept officers in the Blues and around the Snake often and just for my own sake will ask them. They look like fun and might be tempted to get one but don't think they should be used during a ML season. |
