[QUOTE="Grumulkin, post: 659672, member: 29281"] [IMG]http://www.orchardphoto.com/i27uu-217.jpg[/IMG] All going subsonic will do is eliminate the sonic boom; there will still be plenty of muzzle blast so personally, I wouldn't bother. I've shot a fair number of animals around my home in the middle of the night and early morning hours. My wife is pretty alert and the ONLY time I woke her was when the muzzle blast set off our burglar alarm. Firearms used at night have included 22 LR (pistol), 204 Ruger, 243 Winchester, a braked 7mm/08 handgun and probably some I don't remember; none subsonic or suppressed. Unless someone is already awake and you only fire once, you probably won't wake anyone up. Consider the above photo of a Coyote I shot at about 225 yards a couple of evenings ago using a 22-250 loaded with 55 gr. Sierra Varminter bullets. You can see the bullet wound on the shoulder and evidence of copious bleeding. After being hit like that, the Coyote ran FAST for at least 150 yards before going down. If you shoot a Coyote near any type of cover and wish to find it, I would strongly recommend an expanding bullet (not that nonexpanding won't work eventually) and take a neck or head shot. [/QUOTE]
