Just Noticed a change in regulations

Now we can use big bore air rifles for deer! I've wanted one for years but couldn't rationalize buying one for the few days I hunt out of state. I mean a decent one costs as much or more than a powder burner. Then you have to have something to fill it easily.

I hunt a LOT in suburban areas. I've always felt that a big bore air rifle would be the quietest and safest weapon to use (besides archery of course). It also opens doors for calling in coyotes that are raiding neighborhoods. Pest control on pests such as raccoons and groundhogs is far easier than trying to hit them in the head with a smaller rifle.

I'm pondering a .357 instead of the .40 and .50 caliber models. Our deer are small in East Tennessee. It would be just about perfect for coyotes too.

Cool. I thought they shot that reg down. Pun intended.

I'm researching to buy one at the moment. Very excited. Think I have settled on the AirForce Texan SS in .457 cal. It is pretty impressive. Also check out the Crosman bulldog in .357 The .50 cal dragon claw will shoot full size arrows at 500 FPS as well as lead projectiles.

Interesting, thanks for sharing. There is a guy who does extensive articles and reviews of the larger air rifles in the Predator Extreme magazine. It's all online, too. The section was called Airgun Advanyage, I beleive.
