Had a odd idea, a idea aimed at getting the guys in the club to shoot a few more hogs.
So.........anyone have any experience with a hunt club buying a suppressor with it being for the use of the club members....only on the club....??

I am not an expert.... But to own a suppressor, it requires a Federal Title III Doc Stamp, etc....
IT is quite involved... I looked into buying a full auto at one time.... Which is Title II and it is a bit complicated...
It can be done... I know someone here on this forum hat legally owns a Title III suppressor..... It is far from impossible. It just takes paperwork etc.

Probably should ask someone in the business of selling them. As far as I know to be in possession of one it needs to be registered in the person’s name or the person must be part of a trust that the suppressor is registered to. If a person is in neither of these situations they must be with a person is, to use the suppressor. Might be easier to get a long barreled 22 and use standard velocity ammo, won’t make much noise or cost much.

What’s the reason they don’t shoot hogs? Afraid of spooking deer at their stand location I would guess. If I was serious about the hunt I wouldn’t be shooting a hog, even 22 suppressed, in my deer stand. Likely to be too much of a disturbance even in a well used baited spot.
Other than that situation I would darn near require that they have a 22 ready to go if they are more than 200 yards from their stand. I don’t think having a suppressor for shared use would change much about how many hogs are shot. They are most likely going to be on the run after the first shot. What you need are dedicated shooters.

I highly doubt it is legal to "loan" out.

I'm guessing that part of the reason you want the hogs gone is to protect your pine trees. If that was my ultimate goal I would would use Hog-Gone(sodium nitrate) to control the number.

You may be better off to consult Bullfrog about a kick-ass air gun....

100 % sure the owner of the suppressor needs to be standing there with the paperwork in hand, i have one on a 300 blackout and was told never loan the gun to anyone and never not have the paperwork on you. i keep laminated copy in the case and my wallet and also saved on my phone and copies in my safe.

Is there a reason you don't want to trap them? Trapping is the most effective way to put a dent in their population. The other thing you might thank about is having some hog hunts at night.

Took down all our traps last year because there was no way to trap a hog with the bear population we have.
Yes......we use the dogs. But....out of respect and care for the guys who lease the land to hunt on we do not run them during hunting season, except with rare exception. This leaves a whole lot of time for the hogs to do their multiplying thing. Especially as as we are adjacent to 6000 acres of WMD land.
My thought was to buy the thing and offer its use, along with possibly some sort light setup, to some of the members as a way to induce a little shooting at night.

It it is sad.
My nephew has a couple on SBRs. You need a tax stamp for every single suppressor you own, and the corresponding stamp must be on you while handling and transporting the firearm.
If someone else is shooting it, the owner of the tax stamp must be present. Any LEO can ask to see the stamp when you are shooting or transporting it.
I looked into it a few yrs ago and dismissed the notion.
My buddy used to trap hogs by the dozens for fwc. A good trap takes some time, patience, so you're right about the bears being a major nuisance in a good trapping plan. Not sure how you can circumvent them.
We started shooting them at night with night vision and thermals locally with good success until the landowner shut down the hunting last year. We still shoot a few on occasion on a different property but we hardly go there anymore due to time constraints.
I will check with my buddy about trapping around bears and get back to you.
