im just wondering about the basics of the legality of hunting with an air rifle (break barrel, .177, 1000 fps) in suburban new york. what can i hunt, what cant i hunt, what do i need a license to hunt, where can i hunt, is my gun legal, etc. i’ve been shooting some squirrels in my back yard that have been tearing up my family’s garden and bird feeders, and i take the occasional starling. if anyone has any knowledge to share, it would be much appreciated. any websites with detailed overviews of these kinds of laws would also be great. thanks in advance.
