Thread: suppressor failure

When we got over to them and they were back in sight, the 3rd one was back there standing next to his dead mate. Quite un-disturbed.

I did the same about 3 weeks ago, shot a stag at 300m, got up, mate got behind the same rifle and shot another stag at 425m, could of shot the third as well but wouldnt of been able to carry it, none of the deer had a clue where the shot came from. When we got over there another spiker had come up for a look at the 425m stag while we were dealing to the 300m stag. That deer had obviously not heard a shot and stayed around for 5mins watching us.

This was with a 300wsm with no can.... I think it depends on the country terrain more than if the rifle was suppressed or not in terms of animals hearing/spooking
