Looking for somewhere to shoot Ground hogs/Pigeons/Starlings with a airgun?

My name is Raymond I have multiple kids in my family that I take hunting. I also have a fully custom airgun that I had built for them to shoot. I would really appreciate somewhere to shoot some ground hogs/pigeons/starlings! Feel free to contact me 443-467-0075

I was in a group that leased a farm on Kent Is to hunt geese. I shot a few pigeons over there and they are the best eating bird ever. No guarantee that city pigeons taste like country pigeons.
Somehow we lost the lease. Shot my first deer there too.

Don't shoot ground hogs with an airgun.

When I was a kid growing up in rural Nebraska, we used to go to the grain elevators (huge, white concrete grain storage silos by the railroad tracks) to shoot birds - the amount of spilled grain everywhere meant that we always had plentiful targets by way of pigeons, sparrows, blackbirds, starlings, etc. This was an almost daily thing for us when the weather was decent enough.

Why not shoot groundhogs with an airgun? Head shots will do the job very well in .22 and .25 caliber using a heavy grained pellet. If your airgun is pushing 45+fpe you can go for heart/lung with good results. I don't mean to create an argumentative response just pointing out that many air guns today are pushing 100+fpe...they're not the toys they once were.

Ground Hogs actually die fast if their right.

Ground Hogs actually die fast if their hit right. I was just removing some right outside of emittsburg md and at a 140-149 yards I was having full pass through anywhere I was hitting them. I was shooting 62 grain .251 cal cast bullets between 920-960 fps.

Go knock at every silo you see. These are farm pests and most hunters don't want to bother with them. Most farmers will be happy to hear from you.
