[QUOTE="dennishoddy, post: 875662, member: 5412"] Poachers are going to poach no matter what. The road hunting maggots don't care. Supressors would be great for those hunting near urban areas, and preserving our hearing. I'd think the powers that be, would be more interested in the health and well being of the human hunter vs some poacher shooting a deer. I know this is off topic, but the story leads to the same lame excuses I get when asking about blood trailing with dogs. I've been beating the drum with every wildlife dept employee about using dogs to blood track a deer. It would be regulated and licensed. A person could call a tracker, paying them a fee to find a deer. The stock answer I get is they don't want to do that because of some poachers that run deer with dogs in SE Okla. I don't give a crap about what the poachers in SE Okla do. Thats an enforcement problem that is out of my control. It is within the scope of control of the ODW. All this ties back into the supressor question about should we be allow to use them or not. The same stock answer from the ODW about poachers using supressors, or using dogs, makes no sense to me. Do not interpret any thing I said as bad mouthing the ODW. Those guys do a heck of a job considering the budgets they have to work under, and the miles they have to cover in the everyday part of their job. My hat goes off to them. [/QUOTE]
