[QUOTE="bassassassin104, post: 1741214, member: 28244"] I live in Oklahoma and we are allowed to hunt suppressed and/or with automatic rifles for big game. Maximum capacity is limited to 5 rounds total while hunting big game (whitetail, mule deer, elk, etc.) and I have never heard a request to have legal carry capacity increased. I personally hunt with an AR10 chambered in 308win or a bolt action chambered in .260 rem, depending on where I am hunting. There is nothing that compares to my AR10 for fast work on a herd of pigs, or a follow up shot on a big elk. Where I hunt, we have a small property and cannot afford to have a lung shot elk run 100 yards and cross a fence. We don’t have vast tracts of public land to pursue elk in a more traditional manner. An AR10 is also very handy when you are having to help bring down an animal that was poorly shot by the neighbor and is wounded and running at 250 yards. My 9 year old daughter who is tiny (55 lbs) hunts under my supervision with an AR15 shooting 68 grain Barnes TSX handloads. There are many reasons she hunts with that rife for deer. First, I already had it and didn’t have to buy a rifle just to see if she was truly interested in hunting and would follow through with taking an animal. Second, it has a collapsable stock and fits her very well, so she can shoot it extremely well. Third, it is heavy enough that it doesn’t kick much at all and she is not scared of it. She took her first deer last year and it made it 5 yards before expiring. As far as hunting with a suppressed rifle goes, there is no down side I can find except weight. My hunting partner has two rifles that are suppressed and it is fantastic whenever you forget your hearing protection in the truck. The recoil reduction of a suppressor allows you to stay on the animal and see bullet impact. When I can afford it, I will upgrade and run a suppressor as well. You cannot repair hearing damage.
