You missed the entire point!
Then please, tell me your point if it wasn't an argument that silencers increase poaching.

I said it made it easier to get away with (undetected) not that poaching would increase because of it. Not just at night but also on posted land where permission to hunt has been denied.Then please, tell me your point if it wasn't an argument that silencers increase poaching.
Did I say anything like that? If I did please point it out.How does legalizing silencers specifically for hunting effect illegal activities in any way, shape or form?
BS on the last sentence (bolding mine). I have lots of tax stamps. I shoot the suppressed firearms when I travel out of state. I am also working to change the law banning their use.In Washington you can't shoot a suppressed weapon. Period. Do not get a tax stamp, do not pass go.

Ever shoot a bow or crossbow from inside a moving vehicle?Actually poachers out here use bows and crossbows,

Yeah but it was the convertible model.I think they called it a "chariot."
Nope, ever hit a deer with a slug fired from a scoped shotgun from a moving vehicle? what's your hit ratio? How close do the deer have to be to the road?Ever shoot a bow or crossbow from inside a moving vehicle?
I wrote to the state DNR asking about it 10 or 12 years ago. It is not addressed in the hunting proclamation, and nowhere in the state laws. And while the Big Game proclamation specifically prohibits the use of any firearm capable of full-auto fire, the Small Game proclamation is silent.Utah is no. But they are fine for non-protected species, like coyotes.
bubbles - silencer are not legal to hunt with in pa
Yep, the regs are quite convoluted but it's legal. Two years ago I participated in a managed deer hunt on a military facility. The CO was cool with me using a suppressed rifle once I showed him my letter stating it was cool. I also have a letter from VA DNR stating it's legal since I wasn't sure how well the enforcement guys knew the law.False. They are legal for hunting. It's not clear from the published regulations but I have seen copies of letters from the Game Commission written in response to individual queiries that state that they are legal.
