Title: WDFW Raffle Hunt Question
Post by: MoparDoctor on June 23, 2021, 11:28:33 PM: The raffle rules say you can hunt from Sept 1 to Dec 31. Can I hunt with modern rifle during archery and muzzleloader seasons or the weapon that goes with the season at the time?

that is not correct. You can hunt with a rifle September 1 to December 31 with a rifle. The incentive tags you have to use the correct weapon during the respective season. So the answer to your question, yeas you can use a rifle.

If selected, any legal weapon may be used during the hunt.

Post by: MoparDoctor on June 24, 2021, 04:32:06 PM: So if I'm in a area that is open for archery deer I can hunt elk with a rifle if I won the raffle. Kinda goes against hunter orange requirements.

this is correct, as Karl said also. My buddy had the raffle a couple years ago. And we were partying with a rifle when guys had bows and muzzys!😂
