Have a question that I can't seem to find the answer to in the book. hopefully this place can help. a co worker and I have a bet about the use of air rifles for hunting in PA.
1. Can air rifles be used for hunting in PA
2. If so what species can You hunt with them.

I looked in the book but can't seem to find anything on it. I might be just missing it.

Thanks

just as an aside...did you guys know that lewis and clark reportedly took air rifles with them on their expedition? Google it...intersting reading about an early air rifle from Beeman. Looking at the rcovered slugs from these "big bore" air rifles is pretty impressive to say the least.
