Hello folks. I am looking to go hunting deer and coyote. My choice of weapon will be a Mauser in 8mm with iron sights. I have looked at the WA State Hunting Regulations manual on modern firearms. The only information I can find is that the smallest caliber allowable is 6mm. It does not mention if a scope is required.
Please don't flame me on the ethics here of my decision in using open iron sights vs. scopes. I have hunted many years when I was in Texas with scoped rifles. I am very comfortable hitting pumpkins with irons sights consistently up to 150 yards with my Mosin Nagant 91/30.
Can somebody tell me if it is LEGAL to use open sights for hunting with a modern firearm?
Thanks.
