Hey Blacktailaddict, you need to work hard this summer and save enough money to send ol mom and dad on a all expense paid trip to Reno or Vegas this winter. Say hmmm right around November 25th. Just a Idea. :chuckle:

Different counties and municipalities have different rules.  In King County, you cannot hunt in any County Park or Natural Area.

The answer to your question is NO!  I lived in Bremerton and there was a county park close to my house where I would go to stump shoot with my longbow.  One day a rather aggressive guy who supposedly helped get the land into county hands saw me and made a stink.  A few weeks later I was in there shooting and walking the dog and when I returned to my car, a Sheriffs deputy drove by, turned around and came back to talk to me.  He asked if I was shooting and I said yes.  He asked if I knew that it was illegal to shoot a bow in a county park and I said, well according to the sign there you can't shoot a firearm or paintball, but there is nothing about a shooting a bow.  He said it's still illegal and I asked him to show me in writing, so he dug out the book of county ordinances and showed me in writing.  I don't remember the exact verbiage, but it was something to the effect that "the launching of projectiles" was prohibited, including, but not limited to lawn darts, model rockets and bow and arrows.  So, there it was, in black and white, I was wrong he was right.  Fortunately for me, he didn't see me shooting otherwise I would have gotten a ticket.  Moral of the story, if it says "park", you can't hunt, at least in Kitsap.  BTW, this park had very few visitors and the few I did see thought my bow was pretty cool, except for the one prick.  Also, the trees and ground were covered with paintball detritus.

Click on Title 10 Peace Safey and Morals, then click on Chapter 10.12 Park Code, and finally on 10.12.080 Firearms in parks

There is your answer in writing.
I'd just like to remind everybody that it's about the hunting, not just the killing. In other words, it's about the total experience, the sport itself and the challenge involved. Bowhunting, done right, is a justifiable and honorable pursuit. Done for the wrong reasons, simply chalking up kills and seeking personal glory, it's taking away rather than giving back to a principled way of life that has to be experienced to be understood.
