 :archer:  I am wondering if it is legal to hunt Coyote in WA using a bow with a reflex sight?

Think you should give it a pass....  ;-)

Don't think there's a specific archery season for coyotes.

I say go for it. You can hunt and shoot coyotes at night. They are not protected.
I don't thnk they are "game" animals. I am to lazy to check the regs for you but that's the way I understand the rules.
