Default Slingshots

I have a bit of an odd question....I was privy to a discussion about hunting grouse with slingshots and I wanted to know if I was nuts by thinking that it is NOT legal. Am I wrong and if so what do the regs actually say about it? Super curious to know the truth.

The regs don't say anything about it. Therefore it is legal. Throwing stones is legal too........

Only law I know of regarding hunting grouse with slingshots is they must be included on your discharge permit in Blackfoot because they meet the definition of a weapon.
