[QUOTE="CMP70306, post: 2409400, member: 36999"] I started using suppressors a few years ago with my Brother and Dad starting to use them last year and this year respectively. The general consensus is that the deer react significantly differently to a suppressed gun shot than they do to a regular rifle shot. I know I frequently have the other deer stand by after the shot and I could easily get a second or third animal if I should choose. My dad and brother also have observed the same when they hunted this year. It is nice not to have to wear hearing protection in the woods. Outside of that I will typically wear hearing protection when shooting high volume or on my AR due to the action noise. On a bolt gun the sound of some cans will get down below 120db at the ear, below is a test data from Thunderbeast showing the numbers shooting a 6.5 Creedmoor. I personally shoot a Dead Air Nomad L on my rifles and just this weekend I shot my 6.5 PRC next to my brothers unsupressed .22 and was hard pressed to pick which was louder.
