I just bought a Ruger 10/22 and frequent the woods of kitsap county, belfair and over the hood canal bridge. I don't ever remember seeing if they are legal to hunt or not. Is there a season and bag limit? My plan was to bring the 22 along while I was scouting for deer season.
Thanks Pete

If you do find/see some squirrels while you are out you will be VERY happy with the 10/22. . .I have had one since the 8th grade and they are dead nuts accurate and VERY reliable as long as you don't try to use sub-sonic ammo (not enough pressure to cycle the bolt all the way back and the gun won't fully chamber the next round. . .you can lighten the bolt and it will cycle sub-sonic though if that's what you wanna do) or CCI Stingers (the case on a stinger is longer than "normal" .22LR ammo and therefore may or may not eject properly from a semi-auto. . .when I tried using Stingers the case usually ended up getting caught by the bolt when it was trying to chamber the next round). . .other than that I have NEVER had any sort of problem with my 10/22!!!
Good Luck!!!
