There are a lot of post about enough caliber for deer on here so I have to tell this story. I went to my dentist last fall and in passing he ask " you are a deer hunter right" I said yes and he says you got to see my picture. He brings in a picture of him and a doe with a gun laying across it. Now I know its bow season here and not gun season so I ask him what type of gun it was and this is his story. He had a deer that kept eating his flowers so one day he snuck out on the deck with his daisy BB rifle and shot it to scare it away. The BB slipped perfectly between its rib and into the heart, it ran about 100yds and piled up. I would never of beleived it had I not talked to the guy who butchered it for him illegally so he didnt get caught for killing a deer with a gun inside city limits out of season. The guy never broke a law in his life and he just broke half a dozen and with a BB gun LOL!!!!!!!!!

Something is not right with this story.
Both guys admitting they broke the law...?
I don't get it. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/confused1.gif
Is it legal to kill a nuisance animal by any means there ?
Bad idea to shoot a dear with a BB gun.
Are you sure you are not misunderstanding this guy ?

I was at work when i saw a man who had a gunshot wound where the bullet had entered his lung and another passed through his wrist. when they pulled the bullet out it was a .177 pellet. the shot was taken at 50 yards.
believe it

I can't imagine how a bb - from a Daisy - could penetrate a deer's hide, then actually travel into the heart. Maybe if it came from a shotgun barrel......

Years ago we were in Mexico fishing tuna. Jerry caught one about 150lbs, it took maybe an hour on 80lb line. So I told him, let me get the camera. He says ok, let me get my flyrod put together. So I take a picture of him kneeled behind a good sized yellowfin tuna....holding a saltwater flyrod. I believe that picture went on the wall of his tackle shop.
 
What make bb gun was it? Some of the pump up types can get some pretty good velocities even a .177 BB can do a lot of damage if it is moveing fast enough.
Anyone hear of the record grizzley shot in Alaska that bear was killed with a 22. The story I heard was a native woman was berry picking, and had taken her 22 rifle with her for Ptarmigan 9I gues that is somthing like a prarie chicken) anyhow she comes across this grizzley it chased her up a tree, While she was clinging to a branch and the bear was trying to reach her she shot it in the eye with the 22. It was the Alaskan record Grizzley for several years.
The Lewis and Clark expedition had an air rifle as part of the equipt it was 40 cal though. But records indicate it took a lot of large game animal specimins, as well as being used to gather pot meat.
 
I'm inclined to believe the story. I watched a 12 year old boy die from a BB wound. The BB struck him in the cheek from about 15 yards. It passed through his cheekbone and brain and a later x-ray showed the BB lodged just under the crown of his skull. Saddest thing I've ever seen.
 
I refuse to believe a single [beeep] daisy would ever penetrate a deers skin. However, I do remember when I was back in grade school a couple of kids were messing around with bb guns and one shot the other in the back. Went through his back and entered his lung. Don't know what they were using. I can almost guarentee it wasn't some high powered magnum. I have killed many a rabbit with a cheap crossman pump. Its definately not out of the realm of probability.

Believe it! I used to deer hunt very near an residential area, The area I hunted was firearm legal but the flower beds the deer fed on where not. I killed does there for the meat. The hams were nearly always full of pellets and bb's from airguns. Even saw a few cripples from infected legs after being shot at by the tree huggers. They moved there to view the wildlife and banned all hunting then shot them with air rifles! /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smiliesmack.gif

Daisy is the part that makes this unbelievable for me. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/confused1.gif

Maybe Daisys have changed..... The Daisy bb gun I remember was a Red Ryder lever and no way could that thing shoot through a deer's hide.
 
I had a pump up daisy {I think it was a daisy} when I was about 9 that I killed a basset hound with. It was chasing my chickens. It was not my intent to kill it, I hit it in the neck and it ran a few yards and died.
Killed many cats after that for eating my pigeons with the same gun, that was intentional.

Pellet guns can take a lot of power and are something different....BB guns have a smooth bore. There also used to be one that pumped with a slide action, but it was still only one pump. Don't remember if it was a Daisy or not. I haven't paid attention to bb guns for a very long time and don't know if any use more than one pump, or if Daisy ever made such a thing, or if Daisy even makes bb guns anymore, or what they'd be like if they do. Maybe they've become very powerful over the years. But from my recollections I just can't see a "bb" gun penetrating a deer's hide and making it to the heart. I suspect there's more to it than just a Daisy killing a deer.
 
While, I have learned to never say never, because no one has seen it all. But I carry a 35 year old scar on my sternum from where my sister shot me with a daisy spring powered BB gun from about 30 feet. For some reason we thought it would be a good idea to have a BB gun war.
