so on the huntinggps maps map you put up.

Green is no.
Blue is yes
Yellow is Yes
Pink is yes

cause this map is saying yes where the green in the huntinggps maps is supposedly saying no.

Different maps use different colors. You can't use the legend for one map and use it on another. Doing this will get you into trouble.

Appreciate info, I will get to Montesano and ask as well. I did not include in my post that I also asked about some 400 units.

"If you are on USFWS lands hunting coyotes you are breaking federal law. If you are on BOR, WDFW, DNR you are legal" This helps me a lot
Thank you

Talked to a fws guy, and got this. Hunting birds is legal here, but coyotes is not. So now the maps are starting to make sense on why some ysay you can hunt, and some dont.

The maps say basically the same thing. You are just confusing colors.

I think the National Wildlife Refuge there does have some areas where you can hunt waterfowl, but nothing else.

It is addressed in the document I referenced earlier:

That's the missing piece of the puzzle! I was just going by memory but my memory is from 20 years ago.   :o

(can't believe it's been that long since I've hunted there, well MAYBE it's only been 19)

Bookmarked. Don't forget to call the county sheriff, local pd, and city ordinance to see if your weapon of choice is legal. I pick out a few areas and try and figure them out, then slowly find more areas. It is a pain but the maps and sites provided help a metric F ton.

For Coyote, AR's and Rifles are legal statewide with no capacity limits on magazines.

What has happened to where you thought about this?

Wraithen is correct. This is true in more heavily populated areas. However the area you are talking about you are good to go with any statewide legal firearm.

What do you mean about "This is true in heavily populated areas"?
