Title: Anyone ever do this?
Post by: Bopeye on November 29, 2006, 08:22:50 AM
Tennessee regs say I can legally use a pellet gun to hunt coyotes with........anyone ever do this?

I just went and bought some more pellets and it sure would ease the budget......

Anyone know the maximum effective range on a coyote sized creature?

:biggrin:

Based on all of the calculations that I can come up with, I think Rooster is correct.   :laf:

Do a search on pneumatic weapons. Some of the large caliber precharged guns are capable of killing deer.

Oh yeah...this is getting to be a big thing.
One of the mags recently had a write up on big bore air rifles. If I recall they were focusing on African plains game.

This is gonna get big, it's not anything real new.

     Yeah guys,thease aint your daddys pellet guns.Some of thease new pellet rifles are just plain wicked.Like the dragon slayer 50 cal.It is supposed to be good on coyotes out past 100 yds.The pellets look like a 50 cal muzzloader bullet.The only downfall is that they are a bit pricey.

Seriously, somewhere I read an article about them using pellet guns in Europe?  But it was a while ago.

You ought to come up here during deer season Bop - where real men poach with a 308, and smart men keep their mouths shut.  Might not be right, but that's sure the way it is.
