Can i use a pellet gun when squirrel hunting?

in Tennessee? i'm going there this summer and i want to go hunting.Can i use a pellet gun when squirrel hunting?
yes. just make sure its a powerful one, not a red ryder bb gun. many of the new pellet guns these days will shoot as fast as a .22. i sometimes use a pellet gun when i'm squirrel hunting. i'll also occasionally use a .22 or a 12 guage with 6 shot. good luckCan i use a pellet gun when squirrel hunting?
The hunting regulations put out by the Tennessee Wildlife Resources Agency say for hunting small game:


';rifles and handguns using rim-fire ammunition and air rifles are legal for hunting small game except migratory birds.';





So yes, you can use an air rifle to hunt small game animals in Tennessee. However you'll have to wait to hunt squirrel until the 4th Saturday in August when the season opens.
* Highly unlikely.*
Ask the game wardens in Tennessee if it's legal.
Go ahead. It'll work fine if it's strong enough.
