A proposal has been submitted to allow the use of firearms supressors to hunt game animals. Below is the link. Please weigh in if you feel compelled. I use suppressed rifles afield all the time simply because of being ear safe. Animals still hear the rifle's report and the sonic boom. There is nothing "silent" about it. I have never had a group of coyotes or pack of hogs stick around after being shot at with a suppressed rifle. Just my two cents.

Done. I also commented on the pheasants in east Texas. Hopefully they can restock...The last restock lasted 30 years.

That's refreshing.

Use subsonic ammunition.
