Who Is Deer Hunting with an Airgun This Season?

[Ezana4CE]

Are there any airgun deer hunters on HAM? Who's bagged something worth sharing this season?

I am only a desire to be. I bought my Texan LSS CF February of last year with the plan of it being my deer rifle. Now I just need to finish learning how to hunt them, but until then I will continue to practice.

Yes, I have harvested a few deer with airguns. I have also taken friends and my oldest son out as well. We have used:
- .30 caliber
- .35 caliber
- .45 caliber
- arrow with a fixed blade broadhead

Distances have ranged from 20-99yds.

I have been most confident with the Western Rattler .45 std, using 360gr solid slug. All shots using this gun have given me pass throughs, and have ran less than 50 yds before expiring, leaving a great blood trail. Mine gives me 12 regulated shots per fill. I prefer the std length barrel as it is shorter and easier to swing around in the brush or blind.

@pepi.gets.it.done Nice photos. I'm familiar with a lot of your older content. I see the Zulus on the Evol with an arrow barrel. Do you have any video uploaded from that hunt?

Thanks! I am now one of the host for the Airgun Only Adventures YT channel, so my personal channel has taken a back seat.

Sadly, that day was my first time out hunting with the Zulus and I fumbled trying to push the right button to record. I guess I was taking pictures instead of recording so no... no video on that hunt. But I do have about 15 videos sitting on the editor's table waiting to get posted on the AOA channel previously mentioned so stay tuned for those videos coming out.

@pepi.gets.it.done Will do. Thanks for the update.
