That's a good deal. Arizona has a bill for the same thing in the process right now and we are hoping it passes too. Congrats the Texas hunters!

So is it officially a law change or does the legislature decide?

It's a done deal as the TPWD commission has passed it. It won't be in affect until September though.

Good! What is with this whole unfair advantage to the hunter BS. You have a gun and the animal does not. It's not like you are trying to bite their throat off with your teeth!

Now people don't need to go deaf while hunting or invest in expensive active ear protection.

Hopefully some of this will make its way to Louisiana, right now we can only shoot hogs and varmints and not during hunting season with cans.

The Brits get their weapons taken away...but get a can down at the local fun store. Finally. This is a good sign. It's good for the shooter's ear, good for anyone else nearby...and good for follow up shots when buck fever kicks in. Not being able to utilize a suppressor...makes zero sense (Captain obvious piping up). Those who go through the effort to acquire one...will surely be those who run out and break every wildlife management law known to man.

Sad.
