Silent Fall: Hunting with Suppressors
The use of silencers, er, suppressors, by American hunters is a long overdue trend.
How ‘Cans’ Work
Suppressors are often referred to as “cans” because they look like, well, a soda can on the end of a barrel. Note that “silencer” is really not the correct term; suppressors don’t actually silence anything. They merely reduce the audible sound emanating from the muzzle of a hunter’s rifle to differing degrees.
Suppressed Success
Hunting the Alaska-Yukon moose, the largest ungulate in the world, becomes a distinctly modern endeavor when the author and his partner pursue bulls with ARs fitted with suppressors.
