I am in the Hytop area on Cumberland Mountain and it is wild up here. I live right on the edge of the wilderness and I have seen bobcat, giant black puma looking cat, red fox, deer, coyote, raccoons and squirrels. Coons and squirrels seem to continuously run across my roof. I would like to eventually take one of all these deer I see around here for my freezer. Seems like the way to go around here. I have read several articles about what is the best all purpose caliber air rifle, and noticed a few air rifles with interchangeable barrels which is a really cool thing these days. I have seen several Wildcat's and Boss's for sale since I started looking at the classified's only a week ago. I have always been a pretty good shot as a kid. I've owned a couple of .177 crosman pellet guns in my younger days. The critters around here are bold. Been looking at squirrel dumpling receipes! Thankyou for all the feedback. I greatly appreciate it and will be giving more feedback soon. Being certain to delliver head shots to squirrels makes lots of sense.
