I see a lot of folks are putting silencers on their hunting rifles, even sacrificing ballistic performance by shortening barrels.

Anyone else prefer their hunting rifle to not have a silencer? Maybe I'm old school but I don't have muzzle brakes or silencers on my hunting rifles.

Nope I love a suppressor just don't want to pack it around on the end of a 26" barrel. Plus it wont fit in the scabbard on the barrel, and don't want to mess around putting it on and off while hunting. I am still in the refusal stage of castrating my rifles in velocity. After I kill a buck and a bull at 1000yds or greater I wont care so much. I'm only out to 650 on a bull and 550 on a buck, 800 on a Antelope but those dont count because they die if you flick a booger on them. Maybe I should put my bow away for deer hunting, and just go shoot a legal buck instead of only big bucks to check it off the list.
