It is not illegal in Washington.

Not a debate thread, a thread with a question in it.

Leave it at that.

How about not expounding at all. That sounds like something you should be doing in private anyhow.

Expression of differing opinions about the legality of certain hunting techniques is welcome on Hunt WA.  Jackelope's point was to address it in a thread devoted to that topic.
