I have a spot in Fall City. If I give my area out I only want a few folks there. I have since moved and live in Idaho now. We have pictures of an 8x8 typical blacktail on my trail cam took. I posted it on another site a while ago. Blackies can get big if they get a chance to grow.

I don't think it's illegal unless it's an integral part of the bow weapon. Being hung there by rubberband is not exactly integral. Could be wrong but thats my understanding. On the other hand I'm not sure why it's there. I know thatif I left my flashlight taped to my 30-06err.... uh.... well... forget it. :rolleyes:

VERY ILLEGAL... no electrical or battery operated anything attahced to the bow or even the arrow. Lighted nocks are even illegal here. No cameras attached to the bow... nothing. Pretty dumb to post pics like this, don't want to jump to conclusions but it is illegal.

The rule regarding electronics (which was established back in the 1980s) includes the statement “no electronics attached to the bow or arrow.” Therefore, any battery-operated device, such as lighted nocks, would violate that rule and, as such, an animal harvested with the use of such devices would not be eligible to be honored in the Records Program.

I got out of work at 4, got to my hunting spot at 4:20. Put on my bibs and parka. I changed the memory cards on the trail cameras, and climbed up in my stand. I saw the doe first coming from the left, and this guy was following behind her about 25 feet. His neck was all streached out and his nose was up in the air. I shot him at 21 yards with a 100 grain thunderhead broadhead. he didn't react like he was shot. He jumped up a bit, then walked underneath my tree stand. He stood there a bit, then walked behind my tree laid down and died. I din't time it, but I think it took him about 3 minutes to die. He lifted his head when I walked up to him, then put it back down. I got the truck, and came back he had expired. I gutted him then took him to the processor. They informed me that he had to be skinned, so I went back home and skinned him, then dropped him back off.
I typed this all out last night but this site kept dumping me out because I tried to use the original size picture. I figured out that I had to resize the picture, Duh.
To everyone who offer me congratulations, I wish to express my thanks. To the haters and skeptics, I will pray for you also. I really don't feel like posting on here any more. Good luck to you all.
Sincerely,

You can use a bow in rifle season if you want. I believe they still have to follow the hunter orange rules of rifle season though.
You have to have a rifle tag to use a bow during rifle season and follow hunter orange requirements.

Not grilling you but you do have 2 items that seem illegal, a flashlight and a lighted sight. If thats not what they are please explain. Also there are no areas open yesterday for hunting bucks with a bow. Do you have a rifle tag? It is a nice buck and if you took it 100% legal then congratulations if not.......
He already said it wasent a light and does not own a lighted sight!
Why does the guy owe anybody anything? Geez. Nicest Buck of the year and everybody has to grill the guy. No one ever heard of hunting with a Bow during rifle season? It is the Rut time when the biggies are dumb. Bow4elk hunts a bow during Rifle. So do I.
Give the guy the benefit of the doubt.
How many pics are on this site with people and there animals without there vests on. ALLOT!

I forgot to add that there is blood on the deer. It is above the white string guide. This is the side the arrow came out, and he laid down on that side, so it is a bit smuged. There is still blood on the arrow. I had to resize the picture to post it here. I will never post anything on here again, think whatever you want. Some people are just jealous and mean.
Some people on here are indeed jealous and mean. And some people won't say what the hell that thing is on their stabilizer that looks suspiciously like a flashlight. But you are smart to remain silent, it is your right, and after blowing up the picture and seeing that it still looks like a flashlight I would say you may end up having those rights read to you by the officer that knocks on your door with a copy of the picture asking the same question. Not trying to really be a prick but I think there is enought there to warrant the question being asked.

No i don't think Jealous is a good word to use. it just does not seem to add up. if this is for real which I am starting to wonder if this is just not a really good photoshopped picture but if not congrats that is an oputstanding animal for sure. what is with the Flashlight or what ever that may be strapped to the side of the bow. and the blood spot??? really. again congrats if this is real but i think this is just a photoshopped picture. I am by no means jealous that is for sure. things just do not seem to add up from what i have been reading on this.

forgive me if this pisses you off but you posted a picture of you and an archery killed deer. The bow "seems" to have electronics attached that is the first violation. The second is you have not clarified that you have a rifle tag. That's all. It is a nice deer and hopefully everything is on the up and up. It's your picture and those are the facts in the picture. Kinda like the guy that shot the big bull elk years ago and right behind him was the yellowstone park boundry sign. Pictures don't lie.i wanna see that pic maybe someone can pm me a link to it

WAC 232-12-054
Archery requirements — Archery special use permits.
(1) Rules pertaining to all archery:
(a) It is unlawful for any person to carry or have in his possession any firearm while in the field archery hunting, during an archery season specified for that area, except for modern handguns carried for personal protection. Modern handguns cannot be used to hunt big game or dispatch wounded big game during an archery, big game hunting season.
(b) It is unlawful to have any electrical equipment or electric device(s) attached to the bow or arrow while hunting.
(c) It is unlawful to shoot a bow and arrow from a vehicle or from, across, or along the maintained portion of a public highway, except that persons with a disabled hunter permit may shoot from a vehicle if the hunter is in compliance with WAC 232-12-828.
(d) It is unlawful to use any device secured to or supported by the bow for the purpose of maintaining the bow at full draw or in a firing position, except that persons with an archery special use permit may hunt game birds or game animals using a device that stabilizes and holds a long bow, recurve bow, or compound bow at a full draw, and may use a mechanical or electrical release.
(e) It is unlawful to hunt wildlife with a crossbow during an archery season. However, disabled hunter permittees in possession of a crossbow special use permit may hunt with a crossbow in any season that allows archery equipment.
(f) It is unlawful to hunt big game animals with any arrow or bolt that does not have a sharp broadhead, and the broadhead blade or blades are less than seven-eighths inch wide.
(g) It is unlawful to hunt big game animals with a broadhead blade unless the broadhead is unbarbed and completely closed at the back end of the blade or blades by a smooth, unbroken surface starting at maximum blade width and forming a smooth line toward the feather end of the shaft, and such line does not angle toward the point.
(h) It is unlawful to hunt big game animals with a retractable broadhead.
(i) It is unlawful to hunt wildlife with any bow or crossbow equipped with a scope. However, hunters with disabilities who meet the definition of being visually impaired in WAC 232-12-828 may receive a special use permit that would allow the use of scopes or other visual aids. A disabled hunter permit holder in possession of a special use permit that allows the use of a scope or visual aid may hunt game birds or game animals during archery seasons.
(2) Rules pertaining to long bow, recurve bow and compound bow archery:
(a) It is unlawful for any person to hunt big game animals with a bow that does not produce a minimum of 40 pounds of pull measured at twenty-eight inches or less draw length.
(b) It is unlawful to hunt big game animals with any arrow measuring less than 20 inches in length or weighing less than 6 grains per pound of draw weight with a minimum arrow weight of 300 grains.
(4) A violation of this section is punishable under RCW 77.15.400, 77.15.410, or 77.15.430, depending on the species hunted

Yes i meant you can use a bow in rifle season with a modern fire arm tag, and hunter orange, you all knew what I meant
Now back to the mag light discussion
Unfortunately there are a lot of folks that read the regs to state that you can use a bow during firearm season with a bow tag just wear orange. But legally you must posses the licence for that season. as for the weapon. A bow can be used any time your choice and a lot of folks do buy rifle tags so they can hunt with a bow during the rut. If I were to post a picture of a bow kill during the rifle season, that would be the first thing that I stated so the grills wouldn't be turned on immediately.
Post by: Lowedog on October 28, 2010, 08:24:35 AM
I assumed it was an archery season so that is why I asked if it was a joke. I was just thinking of the guy last year or the year before who used the stabilizer mounted video camera to film his hunt and ended up getting contacted by a warden. Don't remember if he was cited for it.

Do these rules apply to hunting with archery equipment during a modern season?
They do apply to using archery equipment during a modern season. Whereas if you use a muzzleloader during a modern season you don't have to follow the restrictions regarding ignition, sight, or double barrels which are restricted during muzzleloader season.

wasnt it on here a year or two ago a guy had a camera mounted on his bow when he shot a mulie? was a friend of the gamie who said it was fine since it couldnt be used as a aiming device or light?

I agree very suspect. I have never thought about strapping a flashlight to my Bow to get through the woods in the dark, how is that easier to see than holding it in my hands? That's what pockets Are for. I think last years picture is even more suspect (there is a link on the 2nd or 3rd thread). He has a broken leg, his broken leg walker thing behind him in the picture. It's dark out and it was a clear lung shot, how far off the road can u make it with a walker in the woods? If he hit the lungs like th picture suggests the deer runs 100 yards tops and dies. Kind of looks to me like a spotlighted deer shot off the road. Could be wrong but he isn't making it far off the road with a broken leg and why would the picture be in the dark?
Lots of deer come out of the woods in the dark. Come on now.
This is locked, there's no point in it going any further.
