I'd always hesitated to use anything smaller than a 12+FPE gun for ANY hunting, until this forum convinced me that shot placement really can make a theoretically underpowered gun do just fine.
Accordingly, I've been pesting my back yard for invasives using the HW75 the majority of the time these days, and I'm really pleased! (Though, I can't resist the Leshiy Classic occasionally, especially if the shot is 15+ yards out, good excuse for the power.)..
For a 2.5FPE .177 the results are just outstanding. Of course, being absolutely dead-nuts accurate is the reason, this thing is stellar.
So far today we are down one starling and one green iguana.
