[deerhunter_98520]

i was out hunting in the wishkah looking for elk...found tons and tons of sign but no fur...well i decided to drive around a bit since i wasnt familar with the area at all and i come around a corner to see a truck driving down the road with a guy standing up in the back...wtf  ...i was thinking some people i tell ya...well i came around the clear cut and drove past the truck and to my suprise one guy was loading the back with wood and the guy in the back of the truck was standing there with a CROSSBOW cocked and loaded    ...i didnt see any handicap signs in the window and the guy sure didnt look handicapped to me...let alone them driving around with a loaded weapon in the truck....wish people would just follow the rules and stop making the real hunters look like a bunch of idiots to the greenies

Is a crossbow even legal if they were handicapped? Did you call it in and give a vehicle description?

[jnevs23]

Crossbows are considered modern firearm right?

[deerhunter_98520]

a crossbow is legal if they can not physically pull a sting back on a bow and has to be verified by  a dr....i had no cell reception and by the time i got to a spot and turned around to get a license plate # they were gone...im not sure if they have to have the handicapped deal in their window or not but every handicapped hunter i know has a big orange sign to put in their window

[deerhunter_98520]

im not sure if you can use them during modern or not...but its archery only in  this unit i do believe right now

Was he forcing the other guy to load his wood for him at arrowpoint? This guy might have just been having some trouble getting his friends motivated to help him.

since none of know the guys, why don't we give a felllow hunter the benefit of the doubt?

Sounds like there might be some new rule and you can hunt from the back of a pickup..... Saw the same thing in the Teanaway unit sat. some jacklick had three guys in the back of his truck and they drove into a field to chase a herd of elk. This lasted about 5-10 min. of back ond forth round and round I along with several others were in amazement. The guys comment was I manage this land so I can do what I want. 

[boneaddict]

Sounds like illegal activity to me.

which part?  i've seen people in the back of their trucks drive right past GWs?

[jnevs23]

I had a friend of a friend standing in the back of a truck drawn on a deer.  He said Doe, driver heard go and hit the gas.  The guy went over the tailgate and broke his collarbone and sent an arrow god knows where.

Crossbows are legal in firearm restriced areas during the modern season.
