suppressor length on hunting rifle

Antelope...Lets See Them!!!
My wife’s buck from this morning in MT. The group this buck was with was walking towards us so we just sat down and let them come. This guy stopped broadside to us at 125 yds. She made a good shot and dropped him in its tracks. -

Grizzlies in the Pryors
My parents live in Cody. Last year WYOGF relocated a sub-adult boar, and last week they relocated a sub-adult sow, both from Heart Mtn area and both for killing cattle. I think Dad told me that there is also a sow with cubs that live in the area but I don’t know if that’s true. -
