[QUOTE="beer, post: 877614, member: 8573"] For all of you so worried about your hearing, why don't you just get some hearing protection? For way less than the license fee and the purchase of the silencer you could get a great pair of filtering plugs and or muffs. This would allow you to still hear the game animal approach, hunting partners, etc. yet still protect your ears. Seems silly to me if that's your only argument for legalization. Do it for the children? Come on man. I see no reason for it. I hunt everything known to man. Not once have I ever thought about using a silencer. I can kill a coyote and call one back into the same spot later the same day. On that note I don't know if many of you have used such devices before but they kill your velocity and effective range of your rounds. Kind of pointless for the varmint crowd. Also, a "silencer" is far from silent. They also make your gun filthy and are a pain in the @#$ to clean. You want silence? Bowhunt. It's this kind of thing that gives fodder to the anti crowd. There hasn't been a "legitimate" reason posted on here yet. Now before you get angry step back and look at this from the outside. Think about how your father, grandfather, and his dad even took game. Honor the tradition. Honor the sport. Honor the lifestyle. These guys killed all kinds of game and most did it in a plaid jacket and jeans. I can just see the look my granddad would have had on his face when he was alive if I'd shown up to go deer hunting with a silencer. Just because one feels they should have the right to do something legally doesn't mean that it is right to do it morally or ethically. My dad taught me a long time ago to pick my battles carefully. This my friends is a silly battle. Poachers poach. Hunters hunt. Period. Now, let the bashing begin. [/QUOTE]
