|
|
is it legal in WV to hunt small game (squirrel) with a .17hmr when it is not gun season for deer. The regs say
It is illegal to...
use shot larger than No. 4 or solid ball ammunition, except
for .22 caliber or smaller rimfire during the buck deer
season in the four counties closed to the buck season.
What does this mean? |

| yes, you can use a 17cal to hunt small game. The shot size and caliber restrictions apply to the counties that do not have a firearms buck deer season. This is to reduce the temptation to shoot a buck while small game hunting in those counties . No sportsman would be out hunting squirrels or rabbits with a 270, buckshot or slugs anyway. :laugh: |
