WDFW going around law makers ????????????

[Oh Mah]

Ok,ill agree.We better ban these i guess.Wind up flashlights.They are motorized.

[blackpowderhunter]

Again..
We are talking about motorized VEHICLES
If you can ride a flash light or a chainsaw, then you do you.

This is the same as certain lakes being restricted to Non motorized boats, or electric motors only, or any motors.

[Oh Mah]

Were talking about regulating an already over regulated system.If someone could tell me why regulate this then maybe i can see their side,as of now i dont see it.The state already makes it very hard hunt and fish as it is adding more regulations against hunters as a hunter makes no sense to me.If it was loud ok.if it destroyed ok.if it polluted ok.The only thing im getting so far on here is i dont have one and they can get their before me so i dont like them and want them banned.

I think they had a no motorized vehicle rule.  People bought electric (motor driven) bikes and said they were "bikes".  WDFW is saying they are motorized and not allowed.  I don't think they changed their rule I think they clarified what they think a motor is.

exactly.
it'd be like if there was an electric only lake and a guy shows up with a new 250 hp electric outboard on a bass boat.
Restrictions are going to have to change.

[Oh Mah]

  i see that.

Hope they dont clarify a bicycle as a vehicle next.

its all good,user groups will always be against other user groups unless someone can make a change.
 same same though.is walking on the trails less intrusive to the wildlife than riding a quiet cat on the same trail?

no i don't think they should.

I asked whats the diff. between being allowing a chainsaw and an e bike?

Did you read the link you posted? It says that they are currently treated like motorized vehicles and allowed where motorized vehicles are allowed.

[KFhunter]

Whoa, 250hp "tesla" bass boat would be sweet!

LMFAO. I need one of these ride-able chainsaws. I suppose everything has a balance point, maybe it can be done.

im not sure what juristiction that office has, ive never even heard of them but it says they expect them to be treated like motorized.

[KFhunter]

I've strongly considered an ebike, but with all the rules still being considered, push back and what-not, I've held off on getting one.

like i said i dont have one,out of my price range.but that doesnt mean i think they should ban something just because it gives a hunter a little more area to hunt in an ever shortening day with a lot less opportunity because of more and more regulations.
