Oklahoma Legislature Passes Legislation to Legalize Suppressors While Hunting

Hello everyone...just stopping by with this cross-post from my NRA Activism Forum.
Please take a few minutes to contact Governor Fallin and express your thanks for her support of below....We've been working hard to get this legislation passed and I would like to express my thanks to friend Senator Steve Russell for his continued leadership.
As always, should anyone here need a thing from the NRA, please feel free to IM.
Please make sure you register to vote, encourage others if you already are.....and then "Vote FREEDOM First!"
All my best,
Joe
In the Final Week of Session, the Oklahoma Legislature Passes Legislation to Legalize Suppressors While Hunting
Today, the Oklahoma House of Representatives voted overwhelmingly to legalize the use of suppressors while hunting through passage of Senate Bill 1743 by a 78 to 3 vote. Last week, SB 1743 passed in the state Senate by a 44 to 0 vote. This bill now heads to Governor Mary Fallin for her consideration and approval.
Senate Bill 1743, also known as the “Landowner’s Hunting Freedom Act” was authored by state Senator Steve Russell (R-45) and state Representative Leslie Osborn (R-47). If enacted, this legislation would allow Oklahoma landowners and their guests to use lawfully-possessed suppressors (also referred to as silencers) on firearms for hunting. This legislation is particularly important as noise complaints are being used more frequently as an excuse to close shooting ranges, informal shooting areas, and hunting lands throughout the country.
Increased use of suppressors will help eliminate many of these complaints and protect hunting and shooting areas well into the future. Most importantly, it will help protect hunters hearing. For more information on firearms and suppressors, click HERE
Last week, Governor Fallin signed into law Senate Bill 1760 (Emergency Powers) and Senate Bill 1733 (Open Carry omnibus). Please contact Governor Fallin to thank her for her strong support of firearm freedoms and ask for her signature on Senate Bill 1743, the “Landowner’s Hunting Freedom Act.”

I found this......but its not current. Im bettin they change it!
Oklahoma
Night Hunting: Allowed for raccoon, fox and other furbearers. However, hunting of coyote using artificial lights or sight dogs from dark to daylight is prohibited. Night Vision: Not Allowed, per the 2010-2011 OK Hunting & Fishing Guide: No person may attempt to take, take, attempt to catch, catch, attempt to capture, capture, attempt to kill, or kill any deer, feral animal or other wildlife, except fish and frogs or except as provided by law, by the use of a vehicle mounted spotlight or other powerful light at night, by what is commonly known as "headlighting" (or "spotlighting") or use any light enhancement device (night scope). Website: www.wildlifedepartment.com Phone: 405-521-2730
Hopefully they change it to read more like the TX law......
Hunting Regulations. Per consultation with Texas Parks & Wildlife Dept, it is legal to use night vision scopes while hunting at night for fur-bearing animals, nongame animals, and exotic animals & fowl (i.e. feral hogs).

got educated the other night on changes on hunting hogs at night in oklahoma. You can no longer use any artifical light source for hunting hogs at night, unless you have a "depredation permit" from the ODWC. This includes any scope mounted light , feeder lights or any devices that emits artifical light. To get a " depredation permit" you can go online to "ODWC" print off a copy of the permit, have the landowner ot lessee fill out the top portion, with legal land description, hunters will fill out bottom portion. Then you must contact the gamewarden of that county and he will come down and look at the property and he will either sign or reject the permit. When he signs the permit, you then must mail it into the ODWC, and wait on conformation that the oermit has been received and filed. It used to be just for spotlighting hogs at night, but now they have come up with this revision of the law.

Good one on the suppressors. Now I have never understood the pig hunting at night thing, as much damage as they do and continue to populate you would think the state would want us taking care of the problem. Like someone said above, my problem is I am thinking again.

Bill was signed into law effective November 1, 2012.

It is an outdated product of an outdated mentality by the people "managing wildlife" in this state, but bear in mind these are the same people who thinks its not ok to hunt with more than 7 rounds of 22 caliber centerfire ammunition in a rifle, but it is OK to hunt with a 30 rounds or more in a 30 caliber rifle.

They work for the government; if they had many critical thinking skills they would have landed a private sector job.
