Check your local game laws. It shouldn't take a lot for head shots. Ducks are tough critters, so make sure you are making ethical shots, and can hit where you want.

Air is relatively new to Texas. 2018 IIRC for anything other than small game. I've hunted the western Mountain states, and a few of the central States, and other than baiting, just acted like I was at home and things were better than fine. A lot easier to spot game out west. I do love spot and...

You get one shot at a trap. They learn, and fast. It is amazing how long they will continue to avoid something many have never seen. Not quite as efficient as the trappers would have you believe. The ranch we hunted on had steel posts at random scattered over the property. Finally, one day we...

Raccoons are certainly the heavier of the two animals. I have taken several with a Nitro piston shooting 14.3 CPHP @ ~23 fpe. None have taken more than a step or two. 20-30 ft shot. The buggars are defiant at times. Skunks have the addition of HazMat, and I'd rather run them off if possible. So...

I wish I had one of those. 22 shot, three reservoirs, accurate. I doubt it was all that quiet, but something not seen by natives or many others at the time. It was ahead of its time, and IMHO remains so in many regards.

Oh my, if that were the case, then babies were already most likely in play. They are marsupials. One more good thing about the ugly little neighbors, they are about as rabies proof as any animal out there. No worries there either. I understand the dog problem, though. A 22 with 850 fps and a...

A double edged sword. HP may expand depending on several things, but they will hit like a large meplat, crushing tissue instead of moving it out of the way. Domed are great when you need extra penetration, so weight what you need and use what you shoot well.

USPS knows they are in a shamble, so their solution to that is to be less competitive and have fewer delivery avenues. No you can't make this up. Wish I could find the article. I was just floored by the attitude. IIRC or was told correctly, USPS delivers more parcels in a day that all the...

They aren't a rodent either. Ugly as home made soap, but a good neighbor, despite the dogs objection. Chances of a Opossum tangling with a dog are slim. They will if attacked, but that is about it. The thing is there because you have a problem you may not realize. They follow food just like...

I'm not a lawyer either, but the makings constitute Criminal Trespassing, as I understand it, and while extreme, yes you may be shot if you are deemed a threat in any way, real or imagined. Class B meander, for just being there, Class A misdemeanor if armed. Chances are, you'd just be asked to...

Scare them to death. Racoons will be back if they find a food source and they have. Nothing will keep them out for too long, the buggars are intuitive, and problem solving. If you have to get permission, do so. If you can snipe them off the coop, then go for it. You'll see them until the coop...

Don't fall in to the Speed Trap. Over 1000 fps can get unstable and frustrating. Supersonic transition speed ranges are quite the paradox. A .22 for anything racoon size and down in the 800-900 fps is formidable. Many coons have been dealt with using a break barrel shooting a 14.3 at 840 fps...

Well, that one slipped by. We get a slim but pretty steady supply of CPHP at the local Wally in both flavors. 22 and 177. Even see a spackling of Gamo Rockets. I like them for hunting, but they are a bit pricey, and the CPHP seem to penetrate about as well. The Rocket does give two wound paths...

Are you just doing a general cleaning or de leading? General cleaning is just a wipe down and mineral oil for a finish. Same as all my guns. It might be wise to keep any oil out of the barrel of an air rifle. Many use paste wax, and I R 1. It isn't needed often, and takes a shoot in to get...

Why you killing oppossums? They in your chicken coop? Leave those alone as long as they aren't being destructive. They will eat more bugs, slugs, and rodents than you can imagine. Ugly as home made soap, but usually not a bad neighbor. For the rifle? Can't help you. I like .22. Seems you are...

Waco? Thought you were looking in the DFW "Area". Yes, a shooting partner is always fin to have around, and keeps you honest. Good Luck

Ya gotta do some leg work. My 25 cal shoots same POA at 10 as at 50. Zero is 25. Good luck.

Dee Eff Dubya "area" is somewhat the size of Connecticut. You might want to narrow it down a bit. I'm in the SE corner of the overlay of Connecticut. I'm about the only one I know of who does anything other than yard work within driving distance. Happy Searching.
