As of July 1, 2014, Georgia became the 32nd state to legalize the use of silencers for hunting game. This reform enables hunters to enjoy the use of silencers for their hearing safety and to avoid noise complaints during hunting season. Additionally, silencers improve accuracy by reducing recoil. Opponents of this legislation argued poaching would increase, but no such result has been proven in the many states allowing silencers for hunting game. The Georgia law can be found here.
