I have been waiting for this for a long time. I cant wait to take my first deer with my suppressor this weekend. Is anyone else gonna be out there with theirs?

no, personally i hate the new law. .

Why is that?

To rich for my blood. I'll stick with earplugs. You're not supposed to hear the one that gets you anyway.

I will have my suppressed 300 Whisper in the stand, but not for deer. If there are hogs about in the morning when I get to the stand, no need waking up the whole woods.

i just think that it isnt as sporting personally. usually when you shoot, it is loud right? well the suppresor takes that away and just IMO, some of the sport of it. I guess i see it as, if you shot at a deer and say you missed, usually they run off. (most of the time) with a suppresor, i just see a better chance of them not getting spooked, or as spooked. this is just me, nothing aganist people who use them, just not for me.....kinda like a crossbow.....

Just like they stand around when missed by an arrow...

they will hear the round whizz by them and run off.

again just my thoughts on it. good luck with it

They will also hear the shot. Suppressors do not eliminate all the noise.

I agree drakecutter, I think the people who believe the shot will be totally silent are the ones who have yet to experience it.

i know it isnt totally silent. i just feel the way i do on it. sorry, not meant to be a big deal

no big deal, to each his own

It is not a silencer but a noise suppressor. There still will be sound not like in the movies. I don't own one but I bow hunt mainly so I don't really need a suppressor.

I love it when the sound of the bullet hitting the target is louder than the actual shot!

If a deer is standing at 100 yards and you decide to shoot a rabbit out of the stand with a 22 mag, do you think the deer is just going to stand there?

To the OP, I already shot a doe with one last weekend. It was nice not having to jack with ear plugs

I will need a suppressor opening morning after 3 Allsups burritos on the way to camp friday night. Check that, will just make sure I hunt a stand with a suppressed chair(read padded)

seriously, would like to have a suppressed gun for hogs/varmits. would not care to hunt deer with a suppressor, to each his own tho.....

I have used my suppressor to shoot at a group of hogs and it seems to confuse them

I gotta get me one first

No I won't be using one.

Funny how people bash things they have never played with or heard. Just because u have a suppressor on your rifle doesn't mean the deer won't hear it. Last time I checked deer have GREAT hearing and a can doesn't make a rifle completely silent. Yes they are still pretty quiet especially with subsonic but hell if I can hear the damn thing I know they can! And even if the deer couldnt hear the gunshot that make it unsporting? What about how hunting with bow is quieter than my suppressor . Does that make bow hunting unsporting? I kinda think sitting at a feeder for hours waiting for deer to come eat and dropping them while they feed is a little more unsporting than killing one with a suppressor

Anybody else Wanna whine about the guy who said its not sporting.

man i didnt want folks to start saying stuff or bashing me about this. i was just stating my opinion and why i wont be hunting DEER with one.

It's legal so if someone wants to use one - fine, and if not - fine!!!
