Default Help Me Please!

Hey you hunters my name is diego and I wish to become part of the small game hunting community. Only problem is I have no rifle. I was hoping you more experienced hunters could instruct me as to what rifle I should be buying. I plan to kill pigeons, crows, iguana’s and maybe a little bigger animal like a chicken. I was thinking of buying a daisy 0.177 that has a speed of 750 fps. Do you guys think this rifle is good enough or do I need a 0.22? This is the biggest question I have since the daisy is much cheaper than any of the 0.22 and comes with a scope. Please help me I don’t want to buy the 0.177 and then not be able to hunt anything. Thanks in advance.

The last time I shot a animal with a bb gun I was 8 or so. Are the animals you are going to hunt leagle in your area? Are you going to eat them or just kill them? I wouldnt consider any of those animals GAME animals they are more thought of as pests.

As for afectiveness of a pellet gun I would say it would kill all the animas except the crows, you wont get close enuf to use it, those dam birds are smart. I have a hard time getting close enuf for a 22 rifle.

Thanks for the reply
so you think the 0.177 will be good enough for all except the crow? as for the legal aspect I live in puerto rico and they are tropicalforest where Ill just hunt without a license. The only thing is that I dont wan to buy a 0.177 just because it is cheaper and then have to buy a 0.22 because I can't kill anything with it. Any opinions are welcomed please help me I want to place an order for a rifle today and want to hunt now.

Ok i will just ignore every thing and say get the .22, more power more fun. Be careful what ya shoot, and try and eat it if ya kill it. How is the weather down there.
