AxisWorks LLC Report post Posted July 12, 2012 Curiouse? Anyone planning on hunting with a supressor this year? Here is my thought. I have to check into this and maybe some of you can shed some light on it. I will call game and fish berore hand if not 100% clear. I have been seeing alot of Coatimundi on trail cam. I would like to take 1 at some point and have it mounted. Season opens Sep 1st. and ovelaps with Archery deer. I know they changed the law in 2010 allowing one to carry a handgun with a barrel no longer than 6" and no scope or electronic device. So I was wondering if I could carry my supressed .22 caliber ruger 22/45 lite and take one should the opportunity arise. Barrel is shorter than 6" open sites and it is quiet with sub sonic ammo. This is not mine but pretty much the exact same setup. Thoughts? Thanks. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

azgutpile Report post Posted July 24, 2012 They recently passed new laws allowing suppressors for hunting along with high capacity magazines. My concern would be when they go into effect. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

THE RIFLEMAN Report post Posted July 25, 2012 If I was going to spend good $$$ have a critter mounted than I would want the fur to be prime and this only happens in late winter here in arizona ...I have shot Coatis in October and they are scruffy! Who cares what ya shoot it with! Is it really worth $mounting$ or would a hero picture and then pitch the stinkin thing in the brush more realistic scenario?

AxisWorks LLC Report post Posted July 25, 2012 I think it would be a neat conversation piece added to a collection. That's just me I guess. You would be suprised how many people even hunters or outdoorsmen don't even know what they are. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bonecollector Report post Posted July 25, 2012 So its 100% legal to hunt with any magazine and supressor or has it not gone into effect? It is in effect now. I believe it was either 45 or 90 days after it was signed that it went into effect. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ready2hunt Report post Posted July 25, 2012 So here is my question, where is the Arizona Statue that defines this? I would gladly use a surpressor when hunting especially if I am in a party with multiple tags....it would keep the area just a little less spooked. I read the HB but could not find it when I tried to cross reference it in the ARS...did I not see something that you guys are? I would just want something concrete so that if I am stopped or questioned that there is no grey area. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Yes they do look cool when mounted so do the Ringtail Cats I saw a Bobcat mount witha a Ringtail drooping dead from its mouth! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
