The only tip I can offer is to make sure you have a small game licence and shoot them in the head. Also make sure your bb gun is powerful enough for a clean kill.

Food for thought, you're better off throwing fist sized rocks at them.

I've done it before with a pellet gun.Get a head/neck shot from close range. I've even used a slingshot.

Have you ever got one with a slingshot?

Yeah but it takes alot of practice to be accurate. It's kind of like shooting a recurve or longbow.

I actually shot a couple birds this weekend with my shotgun and upon cleaning them found pellets from a pellet gun in the top of the breast from people without good aim. Inhad to cut out the top of the breast turned green from the pellet. So just make sure you have a good shot with it.

This is one of the reasons i frown on using BB guns to hunt they are under powered and are not very accurate the chances for wounding animals is high. If thats how you like to hunt go with the higher end pellet guns and ammo they shoot

anywhere from 1000 - 1400 fps and are far more accurate, but you will need a PAL.
