I’m an archery hunter for the most part, all bucks get killed with a bow and a few does. But, we have to take a rather good amount of does for management purposes.
I’d bought a new Ruger American Gen 2 in .308 this past Summer and have yet to use it. My son killed one with it and my DIL used it to shoot 4 the beginning of last week.
Well, I put the archery equipment away and have been shooting a doe or two a day this past week.
I have a Banish 30 on the end and I’m absolutely in love with rifle hunting again. Squeezing that trigger and hearing the bullet thump while watching them drop in the scope is as much fun as shooting coyotes and hogs at night with the thermal.
This evening the manager where I hunt was hunting somewhat close to me and he heard me shoot and immediately called from his deer stand and said that was the absolute coolest thing he’d ever heard, lol.
He said it didn’t sound like a rifle shot at first, but he heard the bullet THUMP the deer and remembered I was shooting suppressed. He then started asking about hearing protection and recoil. Needless to say he got down and came to where I was and shot the rifle a couple of times. He’s now in the market for a suppressor, lol.
I know a lot of folks that don’t want to go through the hassle and think it should be a “right” to purchase one outright, but once people shoot one, they let all those thoughts go out the window and bite the bullet.
