So How Many Here

HAVE taken a deer with an airgun?

I see a lot of folks talking, and no… I’m not discounting the experience of anyone here just as I hope they wouldnt discount mine…

but I am curious as to how many here has taken a deer, or other big game animal, with an airgun.

As for me, I’ve taken two deer and a turkey (which I dont consider big game). Both deer with a 50 cal Quackenbush. I have a .308 Quackenbush that I’d never use on deer, a .32 Haley detuned for around 80fpe (not big game worthy), and a Career 9mm ultra (again, not deer worthy IMO. I had a 909S 45 that was really accurate, but I sold it since I had the 50 DAQ.

First deer….

Second deer. Can see the bullet bubbled up on the side.

and the retrieved slug from it with a .22 pellet and an unfired slug for comparison.
