Rabbit hunting Washington rules and regs using dogs question(s)?

looking to move to San Juan from the east coast of the US. I have a pack of rabbit beagles and was curious to the opportunities to rabbit hunt around NW WA.

Thanks in advanced

...& Welcome to the forum. Hope you have a safe and sane move as is possible with long distance moves!

As to your specific q, I believe you are good in season. Dunno for sure on it though, hopefully someone else will pop in. Be aware there are several protected rabbit species in WA though.

Thanks for the reply. I will read up on the game laws. I knew I could hunt cottontail. Just curious if there are places to hunt in the northwest corner of WA. Truly, I enjoy hearing my hounds more than pulling the trigger.
