Where to hunt?
I want to start small game hunting but when i ask my dad if i can get a pellet gun he always answerss in the same way " Where are you going to shoot it. Our back yard is to small to shoot and ill be hitting the houses. So where can i hunt small game (Squirrel or Rabbit or Birds Maybe) in Illinois. Like i live about an hour south of Chicago and will drive for an hour or two.Also my dad hunts deer and stuff but not in the past 11 years so i never went so i have some help. Also if there is a place what gun should i get. i would like to spend no more than $200 but i can go a little over. Again for the animals i mentioned above. Thanks

Any large woods around you not within a vity/town area, Just get permission from the owners, or if theres public hunting land just go there. And for a pellet gun idk, i havnt used one of them in years. I hardly ever go squirrel hunting anymore.

I would look into public ground that has trees. If you find trees more than likely there will be squirrels. You probably wont have much competition either.

As for a gun this is what I would recommend, the ammo is fairly cheap and readily available. Walmart should have everything you need.
