I'm planning a mule deer hunt for next fall and I'm wanting to take an airgun along for grouse or rabbits for some camp meat. Anyone don't something similar and have any suggestions or tips on a light wait airgun to take?

Yep, loved doing that when I lived in montana. A notos with a red dot would be an excellent choice.

Sounds like headshot heaven. Will you be hunting in your home state of Missouri? If so I don’t think Missouri allow airgun hunting of upland birds, while Montana does. Be safe check the regs I might be wrong I used Pyramid Air’s map.

I wish, we don't have grouse here but we regularly hunt squirrels and bunnies with my pcps. I'm planning a trip to Wyoming if I can draw a tag or maybe Idaho over the counter tagSounds like headshot heaven. Will you be hunting in your home state of Missouri?

Yeah Notos would be hard to beat for the price and usability. Yeah there is nicer, but at what cost. You could buy it just for this purpose and it would be worth it.

I'll check the notos out. I'm leaning towards something in pistol form. I hunt most everything in Missouri with a handgun already so I thought it might be a lighter yet effective choice

I would think any pumper i.e. 13xx, would do the trick. Less to carry and compact.
Blues are relatively stupid enough you could knock them out of a tree with a rock. The rabbits will be a little more wary, they KNOW they are what's for dinner.

Seriously considered a 2289 backpacker. I had a 1377 I modified out when I was a kit that was deadly on bushytails out to 30 yds

I highly recommend the Zoraki in .22 caliber. Three pumps and you have a hard hitting very accurate lightweight pistol.
Max Armory gets them in a couple times a year it seems.
I found a aftermarket barrel that gives a bit more power as well as accuracy, and allows me to attach the moderator.
The pistol is ridiculously quiet.
They cost around $260 if I recall correctly.

I'll check those out to. A pumper would be ideal since it would give me unlimited shots without packing a tank

If your looking for a air pistol I'd go with one I just bought that is extremely powerful. It's the Huben GK1 pcp pistol. Mine came to me shooting the 18.13gr at 813fps. I can turn it up to around a 1078 fps. It's a beast but kinda expensive at $1250 but I'm more than pleased . New England Airguns is where I got it. I'm in Cape Girardeau MO.

I didn't see your response but I said same thing and sent pic of my GK1. It is a beast. It would work great because it's so easy to maneuver and acquire a target and extremely powerful

I looked at both. I think CO2 would be problematic in the mountains due to temps being anywhere from 0 to 50 on the daily
