Texas Debating Silencers When Hunting Deer

How about when hunting politicians and other varmits?

New post on Doctor Bulldog & Ronin Texas Debating Silencers When Hunting Deer by doctorbulldog I wish Missouri would allow silencers.  There's nothing so frustrating as hunting with a group of friends and knowing that only one of you is going to get a shot off before the herd scatters.  Plus, it would cut down on the incessant whining of Libtards everytime sharpshooters are tasked with culling the herd in a township: You Could be Hunting with a Silencer Soon in Texas March 5, 2012 - By Mose Buchele - StateImpact.npr.org Silencers make hunting easier on the ears, but some control control groups worry about safety. StateImpact Texas intern Dave Barer contributed research and reporting to this article. Without making much noise, a new proposal is headed to the Texas Parks and Wildlife Commission. If it passes, hunters in the state will be able to use a silencer when hunting deer, birds, and even alligators. The Parks and Wildlife Department says the rule change is primarily about protecting hunters' hearing and maintaining the tranquility of the outdoors. "Some neighbors don't want to hear gunshots, and they're less likely to hear or be disturbed by gunshots through a firearm with a suppressor or silencer attached," Scott Vaca, TPWD Assistant Chief of Wildlife Enforcement, told StateImpact Texas. Just how quiet is a firearm with a silencer or suppressor attached?  Well, if you don't happen to have the equipment at home, you can watch this video to hear the difference a silencer can make. "A silencer doesn't make it completely silent, whenever you still use your normal .223 ammo or your .22 ammo or whatever. But it quiets it down quite a bit," Don Steele, a guide who leads hunting tours in the state, told StateImpact Texas. Silencers are already allowed in the state for hunting feral hogs (an invasive species that the state is willing to do almost anything to control) and hog hunting is something Steele has a lot of experience with. Despite what Parks and Wildlife says, he says silencers can be useful for more than just ear protection. "You have an opportunity when you miss to shoot a few more times without everything scattering, running off," he said.
