Heres a follow up to my original post on the two-way radios, as I said I wanted to here it from Olympia so I called WDFW enforcement on Friday. The women that answered the phone told me at first she agreed that it was illeagal so I asked her where it was at in the pamphlet and she said " Well it's not in there" Of coarse my response was -"Well how are we supposed to know if you dont print it" Then she said "Ummmm I thought it was leagal hang on I'll get an official on the line" and she proceeded to call a Game official out in the field by two way while I was on the line.

He didnt know off the top of his head and had to look it up so she put me on hold and about 5-6 minutes or more later she came back on and told me " IT IS LEAGAL" so I guess take from this what you want I could have sworn sometime in the past a game official told me face to face that it was illeagal but the way that conversation went down it scares me a bit into thinking it may come down to a wardens interpitation in the field but for what it's worth I stand corrected it is leagal in Washington. I personally dont think I'll use them cause I dont trust them (WA) but I hunt so many other western states and many of them dont let you use them I'll keep it consistant across the board.
