i bought a .22 air rifle a while back. on a NM deer hunt i finally sighted it in properly. i hit a dung beetle thing walking over a berm at 20 yards..then i hit a hovering yellow jacket at 17 yards. i turned it towards critters during the midday lulls..cottontails, and eurasion doves. both legal. what fun!! and a challenge.
hitting a turkey in the head at that range should be no problem. although a strutting turkey turns me to goo.
i just looked it up. i can hike that rifle into the Sierras and shoot grouse!!
any others hunting with air? this opens up all new avenues and challenges. i need to look into buying an air tank to refill the rifle. running back to the truck to handpump the thing is great for my ab-muscles, and it's free..but that is it.
