RE: Overgunned for Whitetail
.40 cal air rifle
anyone else read the new Feb. issue of MoConservationist?
on page 31 the paragraph named HUNTING.
Quote:
Starting this fall,firearms deer hunters will be able to use air-powered guns, .40 caliber or larger, charged only from an external high compression power source (external hand pump, air tank or air compressor). This change was the result of a suggestion from the public. Before it was passed, staff members tested large bore air rifles powered by compressed air and found them suitable for hunting deer.
