Title: Air gun
Post by: YoungFowler on January 01, 2017, 10:16:26 AM: Is it legal to hunt rabbits with a air gun? Or are the only things you can hunt unclassified wildlife?

And it is a 1200 fps .177 cal

Legally, only unclassified wildlife which a rabbit is not.

The trouble is that most airguns powerful enough for coyotes are about as loud as a 22. It would get you around certain firearm-restricted areas though.
