Would you be willing to help me with an ongoing poll about hunting with suppressors?

[QUOTE="TH, post: 692757, member: 1046"] [b]Re: Would you be willing to help me with an ongoing poll about hunting with suppresso[/b] Suppressors should be legal to hunt with. Just as snowpro440 stated, suppressors are not completely silent especially shooting magnum rifles. Even if someone was shooting a suppressor and you were out hunting you would hear the crack of the bullet as it broke the sound barrier. Also you would hear the shot unless it was a subsonic round. As for the fairness of game animals. I hunted last year in Colorado with a suppressor and killed a cow elk at 1092 yards. The cow was standing 30 yards to the left of a group of 30 elk. When I fired and killed the cow with a suppressor on my rifle the group of 30 elk ran for the hills because they either heard the crack of the bullet or the sound of the rifle going off. For those that don’t own a suppressor they make your rifle so much more pleasant to shoot. You don’t have the huge concussion from the muzzle blast. Your hearing is somewhat saved. In Europe it is considered rude if you go to the range and don’t have a suppressor on your rifle [/QUOTE]
