Anybody know the velocity or the range?
I sure hope he didnt disturb any other wildlife.
Okay....you guys from Montana and Colorado don’t laugh at our little Texas deer. I realize they look like mice compared to the big game in the Rockies, but it gets the men, with all their expensive hunting gear, out of the house on the first weekend in November...and their wives go shopping all weekend...so it’s a boost to the TX economy. We have more deer than adequate browsing acreage, so it’s good for the deer population as well.
I have had worse hearing problems from the high velocity smaller caliber rounds like the .223 than using the .338 Winchester magnum my preferred caliber in Alaska.
I have made my own suppressor but I would not just yet start using it while hunting, mostly because our critters tend to be bigger, badder, faster and more dangerous. the can works great on my .22 pistol and subsonics or even single fire short rounds. Good for backyard plinking.
Is that how you guys always dress to go hunting?
Id like to see supressors widely available. Love ARs too, but ill just be charitable and say this is not a typical snapshot of Texas hunting. Deliberate headshots are considered unsportsmanlike. If you want to play junior military sniper, stick to HALO and Call to Duty video games.
That deer head is a small target. Blow a jaw off, or have that bullet graze across it’s face, and you condemn that deer to a slow starving death. This is the same mentality that shoots at deer from 600 yards away.
Marksmanship stunts belong on the range. The deer is owed a clean, dependable kill. Not shots that carry a significant chance of crippling.
Are you sure that’s a deer ? I thought everything in Texas was BIGGER !!!!
I think you just bagged the largest Jackalope in Texas with a silencer Bud ,,,, That’s a small deer by Maryland standards .
,,,,, Looks more like a Texas Jackalope ,,,, Too small to be a deer .
Depending on what County you were in, might not want to show photo. The buck looks to be just barely or not quite meeting the BS 13” rule.
Having hunted for many years, not sure what advantage “silencer” gives. If we need to start hunting “anti-American progressives and Come-yets”, silencers will be good.
