@ 100 yards out what PCP are you grabbing? .357 Air Rifle and larger are legal to hunt with in Kentucky. She is about 75 pounds however she is a smaller one most does running through my property are 100+ pounds.

The biggest thing is I am dead smack in the middle of a neighborhood. If I was to take the shot I need her to drop… or atleast not run more thank 30 yards into the woods. Them suckers will have me posted all over social media dragging out the doe. I have some large bucks coming through the back of my property as well but I prefer the doe meat.

Use a fx hybrid slugs in 35 cal and head shot it it won't go anywhere.

Considering it's not deer season in Kentucky right now and you are in a neighborhood, I would suggest a nice pair of binoculars. And if it were in season, I'd grab what you can hit a 3 inch target with on the first shot every time that's legal to hunt with

The question was what would you grab. I wouldn’t have stated .357 caliber or larger air rifle is legal to hunt deer in KY if I was planning to take illegally. That I would never do. They will take all your weapons that you have on you and slap you with a large fine. This doe must be used to me shooting as you can see in the picture that realtor sign is where I hang my 100 yard targets. Just so happen I was shooting @ 50 yards that day. Both of my guns will do less than 3 all day long at 100 yards however not powerful enough and not a .357 or larger. Thinking of buying an FX but then wondering if I really want to spend FX money for backyard fun. I would never compete or go anywhere hunting with it.

Exactly. That’s why I ask those experienced. I have never killed anything with air rifles other than squirrels and birds. I have several months before season to figure out what to buy plus I wouldn’t take one until it atleast drops below 40 at night.
