The Wyoming Senate has given preliminary approval to a bill that would allow the use of silencers for hunting.

Some have suggested the practice is unsporting, since it would give hunters who miss a second shot. To that, Republican sponsor Senator Ogden Driskill of Devils Tower, said, “If we’re going to talk about fair chase, let’s make bow-and-arrow hunters say ‘bang’ or ‘shoot’ when they release an arrow.”

Driskill introduced the Senate version of the measure after a House bill was defeated earlier this session.

Wyoming is one of the few western states that bar hunters from using silencers.
