I have never hunted with a suppressor, I have hunted with others that have them. The sound of a suppressed rifle is coming from the exact same place as an un-suppressed rifle it just isn't as loud, they know where the shot sound is coming from. Coyotes react to the impact of the bullet as it arrives before the sound of the shot.. I've killed the far coyote first and had the close one run straight at me, to the point of running over me and killing one as close as 6ft.. PD's seem to take the same amount of time to resurface with shots from a suppressed rifle and an un-suppressed rifle. On numerous occasions I have up to four coyotes come in as spaced single while killing the first one and have had them come in spaced after killing the first two, missing the third and killing the fourth all over the period of 10 minutes with the longest shot 70 yards. I have also missed a coyote twice with a single shot and he kept returning to the call until I killed him the third time he came in. I did refer to that one as "Suicide by Hunter". I personally feel that the main advantage to a suppressor is easier on the owners ears and the neighbors ears.
