two way radios

[xd2005]

Sorry you got upset that I called you out for advocating breaking te law. As for comparing to poaching, both are the use/taking of a public resource without the proper license.

I guess I missed the flow chart for helping me determine which laws you feel are acceptable to break...can you send that over to me so I don't make this mistake again? Thanks!

you can use the frs radios, but you can not use them for an advantage in harvesting animals.  Your buddy cant call you and say "  there are 10 cows headed your way up the canyon" 

can't tell you WDFW has ever enforced the rule.

Actually, in WA, use of two-way radios is legal.

Can I use two-way radios while hunting?

Yes. There is currently no prohibition on using two-way radios to hunt in Washington. However, if radios are used for location of or herding of game there may be a question of ethics involved.
It is illegal to use radio-telemetry equipment to locate and hunt wildlife with transmitters attached to them.

This is not true in any way.

Other states are different, so check before you go.  I know in MT you cannot use them to assist you in taking game in any way.  I also know some people who've gotten ticketed there for it.

Do you buy a hunting license? Do you only do it because you think you'll get caught?

If yes, thank you for your honesty. If no, how is this different?

Really? Jay walking isn't the same as murder and you break the law every time you drive, I can almost guarantee it. Using GMRS isn't the same as poaching, either. WTH wound you up today?

Holy cow!  Isnt mmj legal now! Serious the law is outdated and not enforced and likely will change.  Many laws on the books from times past no longer relevant or enforced and eventually changed/abolished.  Poaching?  Apples and oranges.

Look, if people want to operate a GMRS without a license, whatever. You are breaking the law, whether you like it or not, that's your problem. However you want to justify it, you are in fact taking a public resource that requires a license and using it for free. Again, whatever you do to make yourself feel all warm and fuzzy about it, that's your choice.

However, I do think it's a bit over the line to actually advocate on this forum (and the forum to condone) for people to break the law (piano, you weren't the only one).

Got your point many posts ago. I'm a criminal for even suggesting it. Thanks.
