That was in the Top 10 of anything Meateater has ever done going back to 2012. I honestly didn't expect it. Having the audiologist involved was great. I appreciated her speaking accurately about SPL and the what dB means at the ear. The Silencer Central guys did great. Thank you all for doing a great job at breaking the "stigma" around Suppressors. Not "silencers"

I’m a very rule abiding hunter, I enjoy fair chase and don’t want to poach, I want to obey the rules and such… Even I get tempted to go all “bow magnum” with a tough elk hunt, but I never will. I bet poaching (like this guy in Idaho did) is much more prevalent than people think.

The ATF would most certainly ban a "quieter" firearm. They've already done it with muzzle brakes, that aren't suppressors, but indeed caused measurable, however miniscule reduction in noise. See the "moderator" that was used on the early XM177 AR variants.

Granted I live in Alaska were game animals are less habituated to people, but supressors don't impact fair chase. Firstly the shot is out of the barrel, assuming you don't miss the "chase" is over before sound gets there. Second the bow hunting argument is a fair one, yes the range is generally lower but my last 3 big game animals (with a rifle) were under 100 yards because alders suck. Thirdly all 3 of those big game animals I shot with a muzzel breaked 30-06 and instantly got the ear ring for 30+ seconds because ear plugs were the last thing on my mind. I now have 3 supressors since this spring I rung my ears popping a bear and decided I dont want hearing aids. There is always gonna be a sonic crack, it's harder for the critter to know where you shot from but the do know you shot. If you shoot subs, then sure it's quiet, but you are also shooting far shorter range. Just my 2 cents.

Still patiently waiting for my silencer approval. I bought the banish 30 through silencer central in MARCH 2022 (2.5 years later) using the "new and improved" E-form application. They are currently boasting approvals in a matter of days. Not many answers when I call and ask whats happening. Frustrating experience to say the least.

If I was running a game agency I would want to test suppressor use in a unit by unit case basis. I have to imagine that suppressor use has an impact on success rates. The quieter versus louder noises are going to change animal behavior and there is no way that is not true. I would take a historical unit and offer say 100 tags that are classified as suppressor ONLY for three years and compare it to the previous three years where suppressors were not used. If success rate is similar then I would say rub some dirt on it and go for it. However, I do have to admit a bit of a bias here because I use gun hunters in any weapon season hunts some years to push animals to me as a bowhunter. One of the best strategies here is to wait for a few gun shots to go off in your unit and just wait it out deep in the timber, on thick vegetation, creeks and ponds because rifle hunters here typically never stray from the roads here.

I'm sure it's not just me, but when I'm hunting, I never hear the shot. When I'm on the range, I hear them loud and clear. I'm sure the concussion must affect me somehow, but I don't hear it. And I have tinnitus also. Speaking of suppressed and animals hearing it. I shoot coyotes at night in urban situations with a 30 cal. pcp suppressed. I have missed/poor placement when the animal hears the rifle action and jerked before the shot reached them.

Cars are loud, we’ve made them quieter over the years, do electric vehicles make it harder for cops to do their job. Suppressors should be widely available. Unfortunately I’m from Canada and I doubt I’ll see the day that happens.

I really wish there was high-end electronic hearing protection that was truly waterproof (IP68 rated). I spent $2K on custom molded electronic hearing pro only to have it fail within 2 years, likely due to moisture. After some research I now see there isn't an option on the market that is IP68 rated. Kindof shitty to charge hunters that much for hearing protection that isn't built to withstand hunting conditions. Meanwhile most regular hearing aids in that same price range are IP68 rated, and many have a 3 year warranty, and some have 3 year loss & damage coverage.

Unfortunately you are getting into the firearms regulation issues in the US (dont need to get into that third rail - but if we are getting into the mechanics why not do a podcast on AR15s and are then good hunting weapons/not compared to other less other controversial weapons?). Suppressors were almost banned because law enforcement wanted them banned. Reality is with 10,000 plus firearm murders in the US each year, plus thousands more public shootings, the extremely loud noise of a gunshot is really important for warning the public to run and for law enforcement to show up and respond.

1:23:37 I grew up in California. Don’t mistake nanny state’s rules for actually caring about people. All of the common gun laws they put in place be it red flag laws, gun purchase waiting periods, etc. are at least as likely to hurt people as they are to help and for most people cause an annoyance. One need only look to the dictatorial behavior of Gov. Newsome during Covid as he defined what outdoor activities people were allowed to do down to where people were allowed to be on the beach: wet sand, not dry sand.
