Ha! I’m a fan of suppressors for deer hunting. And I was born before 1980. Get a short can on a shorter barreled rifle and it works great.
I’ve found my rifles shoot well with a suppressor (R8’s). I’ve also found that newer hunters shoot better when it isn’t so loud. I also shoot better when the rifle is quieter.
To each his own.
Unfortunately, it is expensive and (was) slow to get a suppressor, so it was a commitment to decide to start using them. After a variety of suppressors (7!) I’ve found combos that I really like. Hearing safe? Maybe. Less harmful to hearing? Absolutely. I’ve got some family members who have hearing aids and I’d hope to avoid needing them.
As for deer season, 6 thus far in my small group of hunters 7 deer total if you count the one that totaled a jeep Cherokee next to my property which I took home and salvaged some of the meat.
