Well, unless I am missing something I don't see the connection between suppressor use and hunting long distance - I mean what difference does a suppressor make whether its 100 yards or 500? The rifle is still in the hands of the shooter.Tell that to the guys who are hunting long distance.
And with regard to 'hunting long distance' I am sure it is done to a degree but most of my shots at game have been less than a 100 or so yards - even in relatively 'open' country - and most other hunters I have known have often killed game at 100 yards or less. I once shot a deer at like 20 feet.
Lastly I have never experienced hunting in a 'multiple group setting' per se, except maybe with only one other hunter close by. In Oregon anyway, unless a 'party' all get drawn for their tags a multiple group setting would not be necessary and even then most hunters I know prefer to hunt alone or with maybe only one other 'partner' nearby.
Again I often read and hear about militaristic and 'tactical' approaches applied to hunting when the reality is its not at all like this.
