I was looking over the Washington state hunting reg book, where it lists Equipment and Hunting Methods (p 85).
So... one may legally hunt deer in WA using a Glock 19 (it has a 4.01" barrel), but not a .223 rifle? Is that correct? Seems weird to me.
Rifles:
Big game, except cougar, must be hunted with a minimum of .24 caliber (6mm) centerfire rifle.
. . .
Handguns:
Big game, except cougar, may be hunted with handguns with a minimum barrel length of 4 inches per manufacturers specification, and fire a minimum .24 caliber centerfire cartridge.
