any gun able of killing can be dangerous, and users need to use all the same basic firearms safety steps
and I honestly doubt your going to find any farmers or land owners anymore willing to give access to hunting things with them due to , you JUST using a air gun(over one that fires from gun powder)
and the major reason this is true , is due to liability issue's and law suit worries!
as they don't change from the type of weapon being used at all!
AND I have to ask, if you don't mind being honest??
Have you managed to go hunting at all this yet??
as many things have been in seasons, since you came on , stating you planned to hunt again??
or are you still just starting post on things?
NO offence meant, but you again seem to still stray onto more odd subject matters !
What do you consider ODD here? It's not about ME. It's about hunting small birds with air guns. I'm interested in doing it because I have no wingshooting skills with a shotgun. I was an expert in the army with a rifle. I'm well-versed in powder rifles already. Air-gunning might be a thrifty and easy way for me to get dove meat if local laws allow. Local farmers and landowners might be hip to allowing me to take these pests from their properties with a safe and quiet means of taking such critters. Air guns are supposedly a big hit with landowners as far as getting permission is concerned.
Dr. Russ here has a suggestion to get into an air gun pest control business (I want no money, just dove meat anyway, Oklahoma farmers are old-school coots anyway and might not be so hip on modern liabilty tort law, this is a conservative Middle America state after all and people here don't like sue-happiness):
I'm really interested in learning more about it. I'm also asking what folks here think about GAMO air rifles for dove hunting. This brand seems to be praised on many YouTube videos and they are not terribly pricey. I need good reliable equipment that doesn't cost what a good used car costs.
Ok, does anybody here have
any recommendations or tips for a beginner air gun hunter?
