[QUOTE="Buffalobwana, post: 2708281, member: 123662"] My experience in the field is the exact opposite of this. With game and pigs. A suppressor changes the tone of a supersonic round. Makes it a bit quieter and game reacts differently. I missed an Antelope at 300 twice. He ran 30 yards each time and stopped to try to figure out what the noise was. Then I killed him. This wouldn’t have happened wo a can. I’m convinced. Shot a big buck at 100. A dozen does jumped, then went back to eating. Never left. Game reacts differently to the sound of a suppressed gun. I shoot a lot of hogs with subsonic 240’s out of a Mod 7 bolt action (no cycling of an action). Almost never have I had any pigs hesitate to run like the wind at the sound of this “pellet gun quiet” sound. I don’t know what you have killed or shot at w a suppressor, but my experience does not jive with yours at all and I have killed a pile of game with suppressors. [/QUOTE]
