Wow! they may want to be a bit more specific as to what type of air rifles are to be allowed in the taking of big game like white tails..
“High-velocity” could be a Gamo .177 cal break barrel

Good for you guys. Here in PA we're still trying to figure out if this state will advance freedom as most people here would anticipate, or if we'll continue to be swindled with early morning vote dumps, not to mention the to-be-expected "machine glitches", exceeding the amount of registered voters. Until that topic is settled I guess I'll be hunting squirrels and sticking to bow season for other things. Which I can't hit with an arrow because I suck...

Here in Kentucky it has to be .35 cal or larger.

Not public land have a buddy out there with 50+ acres. Before Connecticut allowing white tails with pcp I think the closes in public land is Vermont if I'm not mistaking all the way to black bears if you want to get frisky
