I've recently heard that some states are now allowing the use of airguns for turkey hunting, does anybody know which states they are ?

Does anybody know anything about the 9mm air rifle that RWS presumably makes for this hunting application ?

Only the states that show no concern to it's wildlife.Highly illegal here!

i duno wut states they are...but they do make airguns shooting about as fast/faster than a 22 lr...and that 9mm gun your talking about is in some cabelas catalogs...thats all i kno about it...and some states allow it..and i agree its ok if tthe gun and caliber fit the game....and i seen a site all about airgun hunting...if i can find it i will post it..the guys took turkeys with em too..i forget where there hunting...

that's a new one on me!! don't think air guns will ever be legal in Ar,
(i hope not) they won't allow rifles of any kind here!

airguns for turkey hunting, thats crazy in my opinion. they should show the wild turkey more respect!

RayC as stupid as it sounds your exactly right.You can hunt turkeys with an air rifle using a .20 minimum caliber.You cant use pistols or rifles though,dont understand this and embarrased to even comment on it!<img src=icon_smile_dissapprove.gif border=0 align=middle>

I live in a large city here in California and some of the large parks in town are loaded with turkeys, I've wondered since its legal to use an air rifle if I could use one to take a bird. Maybe that was their reasoning.

It takes one, to know one

If you are using an air gun that goes as fast as a 22 why not just use a 22 instead. Hidden Hunter You Are Right.
