First to moderators, if this needs to be moved, please move it to the proper place.
This is something that is not legal in Wyoming currently is being considered.
Our TV station in Casper has a poll going about legalizing suppressors for hunting in WY.
I would like to see this pass myself.
I would appreciate your help
Here is the link. The poll will be on the right side of your screen.
Thanks!

Do you hunt in a state that allows for suppressor use in small and or big game?

Yup. England!

They work, but they add a lot of weight to the rifle, and do nothing for balance. They also cut recoil down a lot. Very handy when you have take more than one animal from a herd, as the muffled report doesn't seem to disturb them nearly as much.

Yep, Tennessee is suppressor friendly. I've got one for .22 that is fun to shoot and squirrel hunt.

Jeez.....where can one of them fancy silencers?

Here in Texas we are only allowed to hunt with suppressors :rolleyes:


The media is creating bias in the poll by using just one wrong word.

what did you say? I can't hear you over the ring in my ears

Been using suppresses for years. Just this week here in Texas i became legal to take game animals with suppressed weapons. My daughter will take the first deer off our ranch with a suppressed something this year.

In the defense of XPHunter "silencer" is a genuine term in regards to language used by BATFE. I prefer to call them suppressors too and I understand as you do that the term "silencer" is deceptive and no-doubt used to promote fear and anti-gun rhetoric.

Yeah...let's not get too worried about the terms here. This isn't the hotly-charged issue that the whole "Assault Rifle =/= Assault Weapon" debalce has become.

If "Silencer" was good enough for Hiram Maxim, then it's good enough for me.

no supressors allowed in iowa as of right now; but if/when they do become legal i will be picking up a couple of them in a hurry!

There I fixed it for you, no way you will get one in a hurry! ;)

[hnl.flyboy]

Looks like the poll is gone..

[MasterSergeantA]

Arizona legalized them for hunting last year.

[Flyincedar]

Still legal to own and use here in Ohio, but not hunt. Sure wish they would change that.

[Ranb]

Legal for everything in WA as long as it is registered.

Yes.

The suppressor/hunting poll is no longer there, but the new one is awesome!!
