[QUOTE="jej, post: 1124631, member: 5563"] Is that a joke? Isn't there a rule here about not promoting illegal activity on this forum? Any moderators awake this morning? Turtle hunting is heavily regulated by OK Wildlife. "Silencers" are prohibited. From their website: ==== Silencers Silencers may not be used to hunt game animals, game or nongame birds. ===== The conservation status of Oklahomas turtles is just as diverse as the range of species. The capture and possession of all turtles is regulated by the Oklahoma Department of Wildlife Conservation under specific reptile regulations that can be found in OAC Title 800:25-7 Part 3, or OAC Title 800:15 Subchapter 9. A hunting or fishing license is required to trap or collect turtles for personal use; a commercial turtle harvester license is required to trap aquatic turtles commercially. Three species of turtles are sufficiently rare that closed seasons have been established to prohibit the trapping, possession or killing of these species. These closed-season species are the Alligator Snapping Turtle, the Western Chicken Turtle and the Common Map Turtle. The two species of box turtles, Three-toed Box Turtle and Ornate Box Turtle, can be collected for personal use but all commercial trade is prohibited in large part because their low reproductive rate makes their populations vulnerable to local depletion in the event of over collection. The remaining species, all of which are aquatic, may be collected for personal use or may be trapped commercially from private waters with an approved commercial turtle harvest license. ==== Look, I like that OK does not prohibit NFA weapons and silencers. I don't much care for the prohibition on their use in hunting [and I am not sure if it is based on federal law], but the prohibition is there. If I am wrong on this, I'd like to be educated. jej [/QUOTE]
