Just came across a whitetail hunt in NE WA with David Blanton. He got a nice buck. But what's the deal with him using mechanical broadheads?
Oops!

Are you sure it was in NE Washington or was it maybe a different state with a outfitter from NE Washington? :dunno:
Just saw this on the outdoor channel tonight. It was just outside of Colville somewhere on private land

Im not on Facebook but I'd bet he is, maybe someone should send him a link to this thread and ask him if he would like to give us the scoop before his name gets dragged through the mud?Are you sure it was in NE Washington or was it maybe a different state with a outfitter from NE Washington? :dunno:

NOw heres a good question.........if during modern rifle season, you can use an inline scoped muzzleloader, why wouldnt you be able to use sight lights and lighted nocks for archery during modern firearm seasson ????
I know lighted nocks are now legal, Im talkin past tense.
Because they are battery operated.

I just watched the show, It never even showed his broadheads did it? Or was it a different episode?
I just caught the tail end of the episode when he went back to look for his buck. He had an arrow nocked with a mechanical broadhead. Who knows, maybe that part was staged after they had already recovered the buck, and he just threw in the mechanical for his sponsors?

Lighted reticles are legal for modern weapons and they use bats.....so why wouldnt bats be legal on bow during modern......
I knew/know the archery equip rules, but am aluding to archery during modern....as with muzzle loaders during modern being able to use accessories that are otherwise illegal during muzzy season.
Because they are battery operated. Hunter Dug quote

I believe the outfitter should have some blame on this for not explaining washington state rules.
I watched the episode an he was actually up to do a speaking engagement for a church and it was the local pastor that set him up with some land to hunt on. I did notice what looked to be a mechanical broadhead but didn't even think about it considering that is pretty much what I see on all hunts.... :o

Scopes are in the book as lawful during modern. Under Archery there is no where that I saw that there were any special rules for archery during modern. So that makes me thing mechanical broad heads would still be unlawful to hunt with during modern.
They are not legal for big game period, doesn't matter what season you are hunting in. You can use them for anything else.

I can see the first category getting waived if you were using archery or muzzy gear during the modern season. But the latter category would never get waived. I think the various broadhead restrictions would all fall into the latter category.

You are referring to the mechanical broad head as not legal correct?

If hunting in Washington. He shouldn't even have them in in his bow. If it was one of us we would have a lot of explaining to do :dunno:
Not true. Expandables can be used for small game animals.
Post by: pianoman9701 on January 13, 2014, 04:31:09 PM
It is unlawful to hunt big game animals with a retractable broadhead

Who gives a $hit, really... we should all be able to use expandables... David Blanton is a Tool anyways... but who really cares about the show and he used expandables....
Oh No David Blanton Used Expandables in WA.. :cryriver:
I do. I'd like to use them but they're illegal. So, I don't use them. If you're willing to break one law because it's inconvenient, how many others do you break? To some, poaching laws are inconvenient. Read Operation Cody. Someone who's filming a TV show which depicts hunting should have absolute adherence to the law as one of their primary standards.

I'm not disappointed in that thread. I did post that when you try to game the system, you're gonna burn for it sooner or later. I've skirted the rules in my young and dumb days. It rarely failed to bite me in the butt. :dunno:
