[QUOTE="Mason Blackmon, post: 2357742, member: 111367"] So I’ve noticed pretty much everyone is talking about personal experiences with the suppressor and I agree that they are great. But no one has really brought up the way game reacts to the sound of there is a missed shot or multiple targets. Feral hogs and predators are great examples on why a suppressor is awesome to have. When you shoot the animals have a hard time placing where the shot came from and therefore don’t always know which way to go. Which means if you miss or there’s multiple targets and they can’t place exactly where you’re at you have a greater chance of your subsequent shots having success. It also helps keep animals calm, we have MLD programs in Texas where, in some cases, over 100 deer have to get shot in a year. A suppressor helps keep the heard calm it seems, they don’t get spooked as bad and because the sound is hard to place they don’t associate things like - deer blind+noise=Death. Of course this is just my experience on suppressors and hunting I can't help but wonder if the internet was around mid 20th century if there would be a similar argument about scopes (both add weight and weren’t needed before) Just because something is innovative and new doesn’t mean you have to use it [/QUOTE]
