There is nothing in the regs that prohibit the use of high cap mags for small game so it's legal.

If you notice the big game regs specificaly state no more than 6 rounds allowed includeing the chamber. The big game regs also state no fully automatic weapons.

Nothing in the small game regs mentions anything about either. You can legally hunt small game with a machinegun. I personaly would never hunt with my m16 I don't thinks it's ethical. I live by the one shot one kill method.

I do hunt with silencers and you can do so for small or big game. You should have seen the hour I spent on the phone getting transfered to 15 different people untill I got an older guy who could answer if it was legal or not. I looked through all the regs and could not find anything that prohibited the use of a suppressor. I just figured I would make sure that I didn't miss something and get myself in trouble.

The old man I finally got transfered to laughed and said in the 20 some years he has worked for dow nobody had ever asked that question. He told me there is nothing in the regs that prohibit it so therefore it is legal. He just told me to make sure I have my paper work with me in case they stop me.
