For those of you who hunt suppressed, do you leave the suppressor attached while packing in to your backcountry hunting area, or do you use a quick attach system and keep the van in your pack?
I have been shooting suppressed for a few years on a couple long range rifles, but have just recently received a lighter weight suppressor from “jail”, with the plans to use it on my light weight hunting rifles. I have the new loads worked up with the new suppressor and love the increase in accuracy and the fact that my ears will be better protected (I always forget or don’t take the time to put in plugs in the heat of the moment). However, I am worried about the extra length and maneuvering in the woods, and about unintentionally damaging the barrel threads if I leave the suppressor off until I need it.
Thanks in advance for your advice and wisdom!
