Having looked through this years hunting regulation synopsis Im still not sure whether it would be legal to hunt bunnies with a high power air rifle in the Chilliwack area on private property. Eastern cottontails are schedule C wildlife and can be killed at any time anywhere in the province with no bag limit as long as you hold a hunting licence if they are not causing property damage or you are off your own property hunting them. The hiccup is that a pellet gun is considered a firearm and Im not sure if you can discharge a firearm shooting a single projectile in the local tree farm fields around here. I'd really like to know before I lay out the cash to pick up a nice air rifle and start knocking on doors for permision to hunt. I'd appreciate it if anyone has any information or has tried this avenue to extend their hunting season in the past. Thanks
