here ya go fellas the response from the wdfw about hunting with a suppressor! :tup:

Hi, Forrest.  Here is our answer to your question:

We do not currently have any laws on the books that restrict the use of a suppressor while hunting. So, as long as a person is following the federal regulations associated with possessing a suppressor (registering it and possessing a tax stamp), plus all the regulations pertaining to hunting (using the correct legal barrel length and caliber), he/she is not breaking any written laws.  I do not know if our Wildlife Program plans to change this.  I haven’t heard that they are.

Lori always has a way of implying that WDFW has an intention of reviewing every law that is questioned.

After so many people on this site said it was legal, you only accept what we told you after "Lori" says so.... but that's okay none of us know *censored* from shinola   :dunno:

Well the more i think about it, if i go thru the process, spend a thousand dollars, get my can and stamp, i will have one maybe two years to use it for hunting yotes, before the state adds "except while hunting" to the legal wording. think i'm going to wait a while to see how this all pans out.

Not insulted at all, and was not angry. More curious in fact because this happens lots of times on lots of subjects by many people. My apologies if I came across as mad...didn't mean it that way.

Back at ya ... it was an RCW and the House Bill that amended that RCW that was being quoted as making it legal....not just the word of any member.

But the RCW does not state anything about hunting, so why not take the extra precaution and seek clarification from WDFW? Had he used it for yote hunting, and then had his gun confiscated through some loophole, he probably would have got flamed for not double checking with WDFW first  :rolleyes:
