    Default Hunting with a suppressor?

    Just curious if anyone knows of any changes in regards to hunting with a suppressor, I'm looking forward to trying out my new Salvo for Dove season.

    I've read the previous thread and it's good that Bob Thompson seems to still be with the DOW, looks like he's now the Lead Wildlife Investigator. I've searched and I'm not finding anything new stating that it's illegal so I think I'm GTG, but I thought I'd check here as well as putting in a call to the DOW.

    Any thoughts? Anyone here ever done it and had to explain the legality to a DOW officer?

    It's an External Custom Choke, if anyone ask. You're one of the beta testers for the Rocky Mtn Region.

    IIRC suppressors are only illegal for big game.

    According to Bob they're legal for all hunting in CO.

    GK, maybe I'll just say that the extra 12" makes me feel good about myself.

    You'll get a good workout shooting with that all day. I shot some skeet with one at a demo last month...not doing that for more than a few shots.

    I've been unable to find anything in the regs to support that. Do you happen to have any idea where that might be defined. I'm happy to check myself if you can point me in the right direction.

    Suppressors are legal for ALL game animals in Colorado. I found that on the GemTech website, in a PDF.

    I want to see pics of a surpressed rifle set up for deer hunting.

    I thought I saw it in the big game hunting brochure but I cannot find it now. Maybe I was thinking about full auto.
