[QUOTE="vdub, post: 1728267, member: 6845"] My bad. The way you posted it without any comment saying what you posted is a huge misconception and wrong, it sounded like you believe the info in your post and logic ODWC might be using. However, there is a comparison between a crossbow and a rifle (suppressed or unsuppressed) in the view of poaching. A poacher will more than likely obtain a crossbow over a suppressor due to the cost and time it takes to legally possess a suppressor. If they make an illegal suppressor, then poaching will be the least of their worries if they are caught and having the restriction in the hunting regulations will not stop them anyway and only restricts the rights of the law-abiding residents. I also don't think many poachers are going to start shooting several times at an animal as that will draw more attention to themselves. Besides, I bet most shots poachers take are within 25-50 yards of the road as they are not trying to shoot a deer a 100 yards away, then have to track it and carry it back to the truck. While I have not tried to shoot anything out of a truck much less try to poach, I would assume most poachers will hit the animal first shot, take a shot and move to a new area if they missed, or could even possibly have a buddy riding in the back of the truck to make it an easier shot. ;) [/QUOTE]
