Ga. considering use of "SUPPRESSORS" for hunting?

[Laxguy59]

A number of other states already allow this, deer haven't disappeared, the antis seem to not be vocal on it. Thread revive.

OH GOD AN UNDEAD THREAD, KILL IT KILL IT WITH FIRE!

I have hunted in europe with a suppressed rifle, and they are just less noisy, not silenced. I asked DNR if it were legal to hunt with a suppressor, and was informed it is NOT legal in GA. Here in SW GA, we have seen a dramatic reduction in our deer population, with some plantations no longer allowing deer hunting at all.

And where might that be . I have yet to see it .Must be one of the 200 acre places that put up a pretty gate and call them self plantation.

I just got put on a deer cull permit today. There is NO shortage of deer in our area AT ALL.. Rats with horns IMO.

i dont care if its allowed, but it should be required

that being said, i dont really hunt. not opposed to it at all, i love the idea. its just that i myself live in atlanta and just dont have the money for it alot of the time

No suppressors for me.I like the noise.

Most hunters would use the suppressors legally, but you have the butt-heads that will use them in areas where others are endangered by shots being fired, i.e. neighborhoods, houses to close, or to close to highways. Some on here have said that they would use them for that purpose. I hope that they were kidding.......but!!!!! Therefore, I am againist them and will contact every rep and sen that I can to vote it down. jmo

I am going out and buying a supressor and a 300 AAC for next hunting season. I hope this passes

im all for supressors for deer hunting. here is my reasoning..

i am a bow hunter. i enjoy the peace and quiet of the woods. i enjoy watching deer do what deer do, and if one hangs around long enough, yeah ill eventually deflate him. more time than not, if i put an arrow in one and there is another there as well, the other one will just stand around wondering what the heck just happened.

long story short, i am in support of supressors for hunting because i dont want to hear some wack job popping off his powder burner trying to kill a deer. of course if i had it my way, we would have archery only from september to january 1st, and then firearms from january 1st to january 3rd. maybe then some of the powder cannon guys would be forced to actually learn the habits of the animals they are hunting, and have to actually outsmart them vs just being able to kill it if they can see it.
