[QUOTE="D$tring, post: 2357663, member: 114263"] Long story short. The greatest advantage is being able to talk with your hunting partners and being able to hear after the shot. One of the two you have to give up while hunting unsuppressed. Either one of those should be enough of a reason to consider a suppressor. Bonuses to using a suppressor: 1- Ear muffs are heavier than a suppressor and still have to be out on 2- foamies are a PiTA and often get lost. And I hardly ever took the time to put either them or muffs in place when the time to shoot was at hand. 3- The suppressor is there and ready to go 4- follow up shots (yes they can happen) are so much easier when shooting suppressed. I have yet to have animals take off running after a suppressed shot. Sometimes they lift a head or look around and then move off — I think it must sound like it’s way farther away that it is and not directed at them; it’s kind of wild actually. I love not spooking the game —> target buck/bull down and his buddies just work their way off instead of blowing out on a dead run, also theoretically could allow for you and a partner to tag out. Too much work for us to try so far, but I would like to try if we find a couple giants hanging together. [/QUOTE]
