    Air rifle cat/dog deterrent question

    I agree with the enclosure problem,. I dont know if ours is just different or something but not a lot gets past her. Our chickens stat safe as do our other animals. Biggest problem is the the Coopers and Red Tail Hawks.

    Air rifle cat/dog deterrent question

    Always hunt/shoot responsibly as you know. Don't just wound an animal, it's not humane. Please read this article before you shoot. Donkeys as Livestock Guardians: Pros and Cons – Mother Earth News We have one and wouldn't trade her for anything else.

    Best .177 hunting pellet?

    .177 is all about accuracy not knockdown. Though there are some good recommendations on here for which to use every air rifle is different. My Beeman vintage R1 doesnt like JSB hades but is a laser with Beeman Silver Jets or H&N Baracuda Match 10.65 Yours will most likely prefer something...
