Good catch, Bob.
I shudder to say this, but it might be a good idea to ask your local legislator to introduce a bill for the 2015 Legislature, specifically banning the use of drones for both hunting and harassment of hunters--perhaps word it to prohibit the use of drones during hunting season?....

I expect there'll be a correction in the regs for 2014.

The 2014 regulations will not include any change. Washington needs to do what other states have done, and legislatively and explicitly ban them for hunting and scouting purposes.
