Notice that there is an exception to the hunting hours for bobcat and raccoon but it does not mention coyotes. Dunno This section now says you cannot hunt bobcats and raccoons at night WHEN that area is open to MODERN FIREARMS HUNTING OF DEER AD ELK. Notice is says "modern firearms" and not "centerfire rifle".
There isn't a season for yotes so they state it by the coon and bobcat seasons.
So if you are in a centerfire legal area during elk and deer season you can't light em at night.
But if you are in a 'restricted weapon' area (shotgun muzzy and archery) you can light em all year
And if your centerfire legal area is closed for deer and elk you can hunt at night.
shotgun=modern firearm, does not say anything about centerfire gun. it says modern. so during archery/muzzleloader season you can but during any area that is open during deer/elk season don't even try.
Yeah so it's OK to screw with OUR hunts,archery and muzzy?
I don't like that.
Some kids (20s to me is kids) where wearing vests to duck hunt.They said the rules are hard to keep track of,they didn't know better.
I said they make it that way to catch you (IMO).
But it also makes it harder for them to convict you too.
Not saying to do anything illegal,but if you do screw up,I could see where the state might have trouble .
But you would still have to work to get your truck and guns back.
Problem being that a local citizen may call an uninformed sheriff.That's when the problems would start.
(see the muzzy elk hunter in Brinnon last year)
