To hunt you generally need a license, which means you need to take the hunter safety course in your state/province/shire/etc... There are a couple exceptions to that, but they vary by state to such a degree that its best to just take the hunter safety course and get a license.





As far as hunting with airguns goes Pyramid Air has done a number of articles and podcasts about airgun hunting:

Finally American Airguns has a section dedicated to the field use of an airgun (IE hunting) which talks about power levels and offers some suggestions for pellets and equipment: http://www.airguns.net/general_field_use鈥?/a>How do you get into Airgun hunting?
I would go for a 22 cal as the ammo can be purchased easily. Most states require a minimum of 20 cal for hunting small game. You would want a rifle that shoots around 800fps. A scoped gun is really helpful and a confidence builder. you should be able to pick up a combo package for about $200. Don't forget a hunting license.


Good luck and happy hunting.
In most states you need a hunting license to hunt anything. And there are seasons for everything you hunt as well. Like Gray Squirrels can only be hunted Sept-Nov and Oct-Jan. Go to your local wal-mart and see if they have what they call here a Abstracts book. It gives all the hunting info for your state.
the laws in countries differ from place to place but all i know is that in canada the legal limit of your guns velocity of a airgun has to be under 500 F.eet P.er S.second (fps) and if its any faster you have to have a non-restricted license.
Well the first thing I would say is go take a hunter safety course. And they will tell you the other advice I would tell you is practice airgunning requires extreme accuracy. So practice practice, practice. You want to anchor your quarry with one hit so the Animal does not suffer.
