# Suppressed (silencers) Firearms: Is it legal to hunt with a suppressed firearm?
That depends. The short answer is Yes…..if the hunter possesses a class III federal firearms license to own such devices. The use of a suppressed firearm (silencers) for hunting is illegal for anyone that does not possess such a federal license.
Wisconsin law does not prohibit the use of a class three suppressed weapon for hunting. Federal Law controls the legal possession and use of a class three suppressed weapon. The individual and weapon must have proper verification and certification of compliance from the Department of the Treasury, Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms. If the individual complies with all requirements of Wisconsin law, Wisconsin hunting regulations and Federal Law he may hunt with a class three suppressed weapon.
</div></div>Just to note, I wouldn't use a 338 in WI, at least where I hunt, not enough long-range opportunities to make it worthwhile. Line of sight is never more than a couple hundred yards, more likely to see one creeping or crashing through the brush 20 yards away than get a shot over 250 yards. </div></div>. Scuze me, just what is a class three license???all you need to do is pay the $200.00 and get your anal cavity checked by the batf+e to posses a silencer and once again. yes it is lea gal to hunt with a can. TMK 07ffl/ 02 sot..PS: Where is this elusive "class 3"? I agree w/part about the.338.(In Wi.)
