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 Sen. 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." They Devils Tower lawmaker introduced the Senate version after a House bill was defeated. Wyoming is one of the few western states that bar hunters from using silencers.
