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.

Shoot the neighbors cat.

I wonder why hunter's have such a bad reputation with antis?

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.

Lol my walmart has like 4-6 airsoft guns and a red ryder. Wish i wasnt close to Chicago!!!! People have problems with Walmart selling airsoft guns even when theyre clear pistols.

Also what do you mean by public ground? The local park Whats the easiet way to find it?

Also i kind of need an air rifle

Ya... I have always wondered that to. I hate tree huggers.

This gun has killed many a critter for me.... http://www.crosman.com/airguns/664SB
Its a good price to.

That seems a little weak for rabbits but I could be wrong anyways I'll mostly be squirels but still I'm confused where?
