Tracking Dogs for Large Game Recovery - Comment Section
mcrawfordaf:
I think this one got a little overseen with a lot of the other higher profile changes and cancellations this season. Please take time to make a comment on allowing for blood tracking of large game animals with the use of a single leashed dog.
This will help reduce a lot of lost harvest and get some more useage out of our beloved companions.

I like it, and it has gone somewhat unnoticed.

I commented to support. Great idea and past due.
Looking at those comments, there is a lot of confusion over the #1 part of that proposal. People are thinking it does away with all night hunting (does not) and even bird hunting (does not). For a minor clarification it is not very clear it seems.
#1-A minor clarification to rule language that it is unlawful to hunt any wildlife at night and that it is unlawful to hunt wild animals, except rabbits and hares, with hounds during established modern firearm general deer and elk seasons during the months of October and November. Please note that this is a clarification only and not a substantive change to the existing rules regarding night hunting.

So where does running coons with hounds land in that?
Just not during oct-nov?

It's not very clear, but yes- only not during open modern deer or elk seasons in Oct-Nov.
That applies to night hunting and/or any hound hunting for mammals, except rabbits/hares
.
(2)(a) It is unlawful to hunt any wildlife at night ((or)) and it
is unlawful to hunt wild animals, except rabbits and hares, with dogs
(hounds) during the month of October or November during the dates established for eastern and western Washington modern firearm deer or
elk general seasons.
