There are lists of critters on pg 71 of the regs (7,8,9). I think if it isn't on any of those lists or has a set season, then they would be okay to blast. Like I don't see wild boar anywhere, so you can blast them.
They don' t say bald eagle either :chuckle: just because its not listed doesn't mean they are o.k. to shoot :chuckle: Check the reg's :IBCOOL: In this state you blast a "wild boar" 99% chance you are going to jail for killing livestock :tup:

It lists "Crows", BUT Ravens are PROTECTED. Crows have squared off tail feathers, RAVENS have squared off tail feathers with both sides "tapered", so if you look at what most of us call "Crows", you'll notice they are a subspecies of RAVEN, and are in Fact-----PROTECTED.
A "Bird Guy" taught me this a while ago.....and I'll just bet our Game Wardens are not aware of this FACT.
Don't believe me? Look it up, I did.

I'll just bet our Game Wardens are not aware of this FACT.I'll take your bet. That's been the case for as long as I can remember. Ravens are usually noticeably larger, and are definitely protected.

I'm talking about the small birds we "THINK" are Crows...check out the tail-feathers on the next bunch you see.
At least that is the issue on this side of the state.

My Audubon guide and the birds outside: Crows have 'fan" shaped tails(rounded) Ravens are wedge shaped. squared off but teh outside feathers are shorter.

Im sure game wardens as well as most hunters can tell the difference between crows and ravens. If not here is the site you need to go to.

Hey guys...are not "Grey Diggers" in fact Ground Squirrels??? Not an actual "squirrel", grey or otherwise in color???
So, since we need some type of hunting license in this "its all about the money-so you indeed sure need a license for everything and anything" state, doesn't that mean we need a license???
And we can shoot ground squirrels with a small game license, except "Washington" ground squirrels are protected too....but they only live somewhere in the center of the state, I think!
Help me out here if I iz wrong! ;)

Squirrels that are protected in Washington include: Washington Ground, Red, Douglas, Northern Flying, Western Grey.

Best to know the difference before shooting, as consequences can be severe for shooting a protected specie.
Post by: littletoes on May 30, 2011, 06:30:14 PM
Must be a species that are not too afraid of living close to man? Don't think we have 'em around here. For that matter, quite a few folks around here have to "travel" to do any kind of ground squirrel shooting. Friend just got back from Montana, where no type of license is required to shoot them. He had a blast too.

yep magpies, crows, ravens all related and very easy to tell apart plus tend to have different habits crows (and magpies) tend to gather in murders, ravens more often are in pairs or small family groups

Yes I know the government waste's money but it's 36 bucks, around here that's not even dinner for two somewhere nice.

:chuckle: no worries :chuckle: Just making a point. It's always good to look in the reg's instead of ask and get into trouble over, "well they said on the internet :chuckle:"
You could not have said it better!!!
