i just want to add my 2cents. I had a crosman 2200 and a 22LR gun. i used them both to hunt all kinds of varmints and small game. Up to about 50 yards there was no real diffidence between the airgun and real gun and game animal like coons and beavers. It was more like the 270 vs the 30/06 on game, the larger and faster one having more put down power and range up to a point. I have seen hogs killed here with the 909 45cal airguns and there legal here in FL for hogs and non-game and some other animals. In my book if it can pass the phone book test(going thought one or most of it) then it can kill big game.
airguns can be used for all non-game,protect animals, and non-native animals. that means it leadgal here to hunt
Armadillos,Jamaican Fruiting Bats,Vervet Monkey ,Rhesus Monkey 1930 At least 10 years Established ,Squirrel Monkey 1960's At least 10 years Established ,Feral Dog,Coyote ,Feral Cat,Mongoose ,Ferret ,Red Fox (i would check this one before hunting) 1950s At least 10 years,Pronghorn(puible land there is a few, i have seen some and did not know what they were),Feral Goat 1960s At least 10 years Established ,Axis Deer ,Sambar Deer,Feral Pig Unknown At least 10 years Established
,Nutria,rats,Mexican Red-bellied Squirrel 1938 At least 10 years Established
,Black-tailed Jackrabbit 1930s At least 10 years Established. so yeah there lots to shoot with a airguns here in FL. so, if you have the time you could find and hunt some of these things(there all over the state, like here in st.Pete there Blue-and-yellow Macaw flying all over the place and in Miami there jacks rabbits so it pays to ask around)
