Whitetail deer and wild boar with an airgun? Really???

[Hitzy]

This can't be real can it....deer hunting with a .35cal airgun with only 200f/lbs of energy?

Stepping into a Bulldog .357 means stepping out of the traditional world of airguns. Go beyond garden pests and into the realm of predator hunting and wild hogs, whitetail wallhangers and African plains game. Take the leash off what’s possible and hunt with a Bulldog.

They even hunt Buffalo with , I think its Quackenbush 50 cal air riffle.

That Crosman is ugly as hell, but probably works fine. I can see a .35 pellet at ~800fps as being lethal even to big game, but you gotta be close and shot placement will be important.

I also love the note at the bottom;

So much denial.

Doubt it'd be legal for hunting anywhere in Canada, but there were air powered rifles used during the Middle Ages in Sweden. Some castle was being besieged and the defenders used air rifles. So making one powerful enough isn't completely ludicrous. That one would be evil here though. snicker.

Wow. Cheap too. Only $1 each......

I can believe it,look at that Daystate wolverine in 303?

I would buy a 357 Benjiman(sp?) at the drop of a hat if I could hunt with it in Canada. Awesome rifle with incredible knock down power.

Airforce Texan while strange looking has lots of R&D on a proven platform and 500 FPE.

Exactly!

The Austrians killed lots of Napoleon's troops with air rifles. I cast .310 and 9mm bullets for a fellow that made custom airguns for medium sized game.Harold

And can someone tell me why you can't hunt in Canada with a airgun?

I know for a fact that you can. go read the law for airgun and then the NR rules and you will see you can, but depending on the region.

were I live we can only use 12 ga no hi powered rifles for deer, but in the other district you can use rifle so a airgun can be used.

any airgun shooting over 500fps and with enough fpe to take a deer can be used.
