I know a guy that stopped while driving down a logging road by a gamy during archery season and was asked if he was hunting, he responded "yes" and was written a ticket for hunting from a vehicle.

I have talked to wardens about this. They say (other then then loaded weapon) you perfectly legal. Not illegal to spot light and as far as the deer goes, they have to prove intent

Not unless the guy who told me was kidding me, and everyone else he tells the story to. (says it happened to him)
also says the case was dismissed, but he had to drive back to NE Washington to fight it...

That shouldn't happen. That's not the intent of the law. That's why it was dismissed.

So, I'll keep the rifle unloaded in the cab and just have a baseball bat with me in the bed of the truck :)

Or skip the permit and get a handgun and keep it on you and loaded.  You'll then be legal to have a loaded firearm.
May I always be the kind of person my dog thinks I am.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gun_laws_in_the_United_States_(by_state)#Washington
Washington State law also carves exemptions into state law regarding Concealed Pistol Licenses. Perhaps the most interesting is RCW 9.41.060, section 8: "Any person engaging in a lawful outdoor recreational activity such as hunting, fishing, camping, hiking, or horseback riding, only if, considering all of the attendant circumstances, including but not limited to whether the person has a valid hunting or fishing license, it is reasonable to conclude that the person is participating in lawful outdoor activities or is traveling to or from a legitimate outdoor recreation area;"[312]. This little known law essentially allows vehicle and concealed carry WITHOUT a CPL as normally required in 9.41.050 as long as you meet the provisions of that section.

Yep, you can carry a loaded gun in your vehicle while you are hunting, as long as it is a handgun and is on your person.

yea the little known law was put in the news not to long after the laws changed for having a gun in the nat. parks.    BUT if you want to make it easy just get your CWP and then no real questions to dance around.
We are what we repeatedly do.  Excellence, therefore, is not an act but a habit.
