I feel like Caddishack !! Will my .177 pellet gun take out a ground hog ? Or will I need something a little bit bigger ?

 

[bizzle]

if you get the good pointed pellets it will do the job

 

[BROWNING 10 GA]

head shots only

What type of gun? How fast does it shoot?

 

[bwd172]

A well placed head shot will do the trick.

 

[FordTrksHunter]

I think you need a .22 they come out faster than a .177 pellet unless you get a headshot with the.177

 

[JJoe]

1200 fps works well[up] [smoke]

 

[drenal]

oh ye it will do the job ,some of these are amazing

 

[Rather Be Hunting]

head shots

if you have a quality gun that shoots 900fps or more

The pellet gun is one of those high powerd ones. I have shot metal signs with it at about 40 yards and they went right threw. I can't use a 22 in the area that it has to be done (residentail) .
But I did use the bolt action only (Calibrees ??)) no powder 22 rounds before. I have no idea where I can buy them at now a days. Any info on them would be great.

.22CB's. Any gun store would have them.

I have a crossman I think its 1100fps...also have some good pointed hunting pellets if you want a few let me know ill drop em off at the wash

 

[MTH]

I assume that all of this is "theoretical" given that you can't use a .177 air rifle to dispatch game animals-and yes-a ground grizzly is a game animal

Meltzer's in Garfield had them last year. Give them a call if you're....I mean your friend's friend who knows a guy who has a problem and isn't too far.

hmmmm i think you may need more then a .177 i have a crossman760 pump master with a scope and i have had no success with taking groundhogs out with it bear in mind i am at roughly 20 yards with 10 pumps and flat head pellets i think groundhogs have a thicker hide and bone structure then tree rats and chipmunks what does work is my crossbow pistol shooting a modified carbon shaft with a broadhead

 

[NJMike24]

i have a crosman phantom 1000 it packs a huge punch on little pests im sure if you have a airgun with the right pellet and right shot placement you can. On verses they were using .117 caliber pellet guns (break barrel high powered) and with one good placed shot to the head it dropped in a second. they even have .50 pellet guns which are legal for deer in some states

 

[GVS]

Wood Chucks are tough criters, while I'm sure a properly place .177 pellet at 1200ft/sec would do the job (theoretically speaking) I've seen many take a hit from a .22 hollow point and run off....

If noise is your problem, get yourself some subsonic 60gr. 22s. They should be close to the powderless 22s in terms of noise, and probably less noise that a high powered airgun.
