[QUOTE="MAS GunWorks, post: 876202, member: 948"] Poachers use whatever they want currently to accomplish their task. Why not allow licensed hunters to use them? Suppressors don't make a gun shot undetectable. They still have a report just not as much. If I am hunting on my land I want to know who is out there. Even if they use a suppressor on a centerfire rifle I should still be able to hear them. It also allows me to keep what hearing I have left. The current poaching laws should be looked at. If a suppressor is used was it legally purchased or made? Increase the penalties for poaching would be one way of trying to stop it. I doubt it will ever go away. I don't hunt but we thought it would be something Oklahoma could benefit from and that is why we brought this issue to our State representatives. I can understand not allowing it for deer hunting but for varmints and pest control. Texas currently allows suppressor for non game animals. Thanks for all of the ideas and opinions. [/QUOTE]
