That's if the game wardens in Oklahoma even permit it, at least for those pesky Eurasian collareds which are more meaty than mournings. I've sent them an email the other day asking about doves and air guns and I'm still waiting for an answer. Who here hunts dove under a charge of compressed air? Many farmers and landowners should likely grant persmission to take pesky grain-thieving collered doves for your pot (or your Weber) on their properties with relatively safe/quiet pellet or BB guns. Air guns seem to be picking up steam (or compressed air??) in America. They have been popular for a long time in Europe, Britain and South Africa. I'm hoping game regulators in more states and local jurisdictions will eventually get hip to them for harvesting game. They are much safer and quieter in populated areas than firearms after all. Some good 'ole boys who are lifelong powder-burner aficionados, including those in the fish and game departments and state legislatures, might look upon "BB guns" with contempt, however.

Also, is GAMO the best "windsucker" (ie. pneumatic non-firearm) for sitting game birds or small pests? Which model and caliber is best for sitting dove? .177?, .22?

I've just discovered Dr. Russ and he's a cool old cat who loves backyard-friendly weaponry.
