Question

Is it Legal to hunt Fox, oppossom, raccoon, etc. With a High-powered Pellet Gun in INDIANA?

Answer 1

You might call the local DNR or animal control to see. I know Indiana is pretty lax on most of its laws, and especially some rediculous "old ones" on the books, but my thinking is, "If it's on my property...it's fair game." :D

The state would probably say differently though.

I prefer the 10-22 rifle for small game, and the Glock .40 cal for skunks, opossum, and racoons. :D

the rules are at the above website

but I persoanlly would not use a pellet rifle.........for game that size you should use a 22lr at the very minimum and a 22 magnum or 17 HMR would be even better

can't wait for squirrel season to start.....Aug 15th.......I will be in the woods

I can not find anything that says you can or can't use a pellet gun for hunting.......I have to beleive that Indiana does not consider a pellet gun a firearm.......you should probably call them to be sure...........don't forget that you have to have a hunters education card

Answer 3

no
