| Hey rawhide where have you been hiding? It's really been a while. But to answer your question pellet selection would depend on the size and type of pest & maximum range you would be shooting from. CPH should do for most small birds. If you were to include squirrels, possums or rabbits to the list then I'd have to say the 10.5 grain CPD would be a better option, since its a lot harder & a little heavier. |

Steller's Jays are regulated federally (Washington state laws would therefore be as strict or stricter than the federal code). Look here:
http://www.fws.gov/migratorybirds/mbpermits/regulations/part21.pdf
They can be hunted, but under specific circumstances (21.46 - page 18), and only with a shotgun (21.42(a) - page 17). Double check your state regulations so you know exactly where you stand. |
