WA is .24 caliber minimum and centerfire for all big game except cougar which can be taken with any .22 center fire or larger caliber.

so it's funny, a .223 rifle is illegal but you could hunt with a 4" barrel .32 ACP for example.

handgun is legal here also for all big game so long as it meets the .24/center fire and 4" min barrel length.\

shotgun also legal for big game using buckshot or slugs
