Given the high traffic of cougars on residential cams, I'm not thinking they would be bothered by this but dont feel like wasting my time

I found a spot that looks primo for Cougars, however, there is no good location to bunker down and shoot from. For that reason, I am contemplating setting up in my truck bed which has a hard top canopy. So the question is, will a cougar be sketched out by a parked truck and decide not to investigate any further?

Better double check the regs
I believe if disabled you may be good
Otherwise ?

And even then, they have tightened up the disability requirements allowing shooting from a vehicle.

I cant sit in an old abandoned car with a loaded weapon?

If the loaded firearm is inside of a vehicle on private property, what then?

You dont need to break the law to be forced into court, skirting around the edges of what is technically legal is a gamble that will be sorted out in court and not in the field.

You can absolutely be arrested for it. Whether or not you end up being convicted was not the point of my comment.

If you're looking to call in a cougar from your truck perhaps hunt around SeaTac.

You have to read further into the WAC:
https://apps.leg.wa.gov/wac/default.aspx?cite=220-413-140
(7) It is unlawful for a hunter with a disability to possess a loaded firearm in a motor vehicle, or shoot from a motor vehicle, unless the hunter with a disability has been issued a special use permit from the department, and:
(a) The vehicle is stopped, the vehicle is removed from the maintained portion of the roadway, and the motor is turned off; and
(b) A valid blue disabled hunter "shooting from a vehicle" identification placard must be displayed and visible.
Part "B" is what I was reffering to when I said they tightened up the requirements.
You can be granted Disability status but still not be able to shoot from a vehicle.
