∙ 13y agoIt is possible to kill squirrels, rabbits, chipmunks, possibly groundhogs with a B.B. gun. But you have to make sure that they are in season. In West Virginia, you can shoot groundhogs and chipmunks yearround, because they are in season all of the time. But through Winter and early Spring, rabbits are in season. And in Fall, you can hunt squirrels. You should check with your local DNR on the seasons of these animals.

∙ 12y agoThe Key word here is Hunting. Even if you are hunting with a rock you are hunting. I would declare my intentions and ask if there is an Air gun Season. Some states allow it during Black powder season. Get the license.

∙ 13y agoDepends on the air rifle, and what you are hunting. BB guns generally do not have the power or accuracy for hunting. Pellet guns MAY meet the requirement for small game- I use a 5mm Sheridan air rifle for squirrel hunting. There ARE special large, high pressure air rifles that can kill a deer, but they are uncommon.

What can you shoot with a 22 air rifle?
Generally .22 hunting class air rifles good for hunting squirrels. Those that deliver more the 15 ft lbs can be used for hunting rabbits but you should go for head shots. Some air large bore air guns can deliver considerable force good for coyote or even Wild Bore (the Quackenbush Outlaw). The upcoming Crosman Rouge looks like it will be a good varment hunting rifle out to over 100 yard for coyote or smaller creatures. Note Lewis and Clark had an air gun they used to keep meat on their table.

do not use a CO2 powered air rifle the best air rifle to go for if you are a beginner is a pre-charged pneumatic air rifle or a break barrel air rifle your best companies are ; crosman, gamo, weihrauch, air arms any air rifle that is over 12 fpe or 600 feet per second will do the best caliber is .22 as it has more knock down power and has a further range of about 30-40 yards depending on what country you are in example in america you can get an air rifle powerful enough to kill a boar but in the uk you are only allowed air rifles that can go 600-700 fps

Is squirrel hunting the funnest kind of hunting?
Squirrel Hunting is a very fun type of hunting. Commonly, you use a .22 rifle, Shotgun, or a High-Powered Pellet Rifle to hunt Squirrels. If you are new to hunting, I would recommend Squirrel hunting before big game. It will allow you to get used to small animals and small calibers before you move up to the big stuff. It is fun to go out with friends with small rifles and Squirrel hunt. To me, the most fun type of hunting is deer or duck hunting, where stealth is important. The two types of ways I hunt squirrel is walking around in the woods with a shotgun, or sitting by a tree with a .22 rifle or Pellet rifle. Try other types of hunting too, they are all different and fun in there own ways.

Would and air rifle be good for hunting small game?
There is a very large selection of air rifles for small game hunting. (See the link below) a few that I would stay away from are any air rifles that shoots BB's or combination of BB and pellets. These are usually smooth bore rifles and are not as accurate as a rifled bore air rifle. I would also select a springer over a pump or C02 driven air rifle because you will get tired pumping between shots and C02 is just not as powerful as springers. As for caliber, a .177 is fine but I would select a .22 caliber and use "hollow point" pellets for hunting. They deform on impact and make a clean kill. For very large game select a PCP Class air rifle, these are expensive, but go up to .50 Caliber and are capable of bringing down a boar or large deer. On another point. Don't confuse speed with knockdown power. Air Rifle manufactures like to boast about how fast the pellet travels. Any rifle can fire a lightweight pellet fast, but lightweight pellets like the "Rapter' are effected by crosswind. A heavy weighted pellet will fly slower but will travel straighter and have more impact. Look at the weight of pellets when you select one. Don't get caught up in the Speed game.
