So, two of Washington State's most ridiculous game laws (in my opinion, obviously) are that we aren't allowed to use mechanical broadheads on big game nor are we allowed any electronics on our arrows/bows.

With all the praise mechanical heads have gained in recent years, I think its about time my state changes the rules a bit. Even when I first started archery hunting I said I'd never use them for big game, but after reading articles about them over the last few years I'd at least like to try them out to make that decision.

As for the electronics, I'd love to be able to use luminocks while hunting. A lot of my early season (September) hunting is done at dusk in an area where leaving an animal overnight is out of the question if you plan on retrieving the meat. Coyotes will absolutely devour an animal in a 24 hour period in this area.

So, how would you as a hunter approach this situation? I realize I need to contact someone, but whom? Would a petition of local hunters be in order?

I'd really like to at least say I tried, even if the laws aren't changed.
