[QUOTE="rocketman, post: 1671902, member: 24956"] I found this from the okpredatorhunters.com forum which seems to say no supp for coyotes and ok for pigs. Pigs are the ones im going deaf over anyways. "Thank you for your question about the legality of hunting non-game animals in Oklahoma with a noise suppressed firearm. The Director has forwarded your question to me for a response. Title 29 of the State Wildlife Code, section 5-201, Means of taking wildlife-Exceptions-Fines and punishments, states in paragraph A. Except as otherwise provided for in this section, no person may utilize at any time, for the purpose of killing or capturing any game mammal, game bird or nongame bird, the following means: 1. Any trap, net, snare, cage, pitfall, baited hook or similar device; 2. Any drug, poison, narcotic, explosive or similar substance; 3. Any swivel or punt gun of greater caliber than ten(10) guage; 4. Any device which generates electricity; or 5. Any device which noticeably suppresses noise from a firearm, commonly known as a silencer The definition of a game mammal, according to Title 29, is any mammalian species normally sought after by sportsmen and protected by this Code, or any part of such animal. The definition of a predatory mammal is any mammal which preys upon another mammal or bird for food, and includes only coyote and wolf. Therefore, with a coyote being a predatory mammal and not a game mammal, they would be legal for an individual to hunt using a suppressed or silenced firearm. Our Agency does not consider the feral hog to be a wildlife species, thereby making it also legal to hunt using a suppressed or silenced firearm. Please familiarize yourself with the regulations regarding the hunting of feral swine and coyote during antelope, bear, deer and elk firearm seasons. This explanation, of course assumes you possess the necessary permits to own a suppressor. Thank you again, Jason for contacting us with your question regarding hunting in Oklahoma with a suppressed firearm. Sincerely, Robert Fleenor Acting Chief, Law Enforcement Division Oklahoma Department of Wildlife Conservation " [/QUOTE]
