Big Game Airgun Hunting Trophy Gallery

Michigan Deer Hunt with Eric Henderson and Rober Vogel

From last years hunt with Eric Henderson and Robert Vogel at Deer Tracks Ranch in Northern Michigan. We shot six deer in four days of hunting. Eric and Robert  were using Quackenbush big bores in .457, and I was using an unmodified Big Bore 909 in .45. The hunt is written up elsehwere on the site and the deer to the left was captured on the video on the home page. The deer that Eric shot in the upper left is, I believe the largest taken with an air rifle.

Missouri Airgun Regulation: The Destination for AG Deerhunters

These photos are of deer taken with airguns in Missouri, which expanded their regulations to include big bore pcp airguns (over .40 caliber) two years ago. The photo in the upper left is Jeff Cox with the first deer taken under the new regulations.. Followed clockwise; pics of Ken Cox (Jeffs dad) with a buck and a doe all taken with a DAQ .457 shooting 422 grain bullets made by Robert Vogel. Ken is responsible for spearheading the effort to get airguns into the MO regulations, and wrote the book on how it should be done! He lobbied effectively and formulated well reasoned arguments to support the petition. Next pic (a year later) is Eric with his first MO buck and me with my first Missouri deer, both shot with Sam Yang 909s rifles using  BHD 200 grain bullets.

David Peltier and his .50 Quackenbush

These deer were taken by David Peltier using a Quckenbush .50 caliber rifle shooting 180 grain roundball, at a fill pressure of 3800 psi. The gun is stock from Dennis Q, the woodwork was done by Paul Bishop.

Kentucky Muzzle Loading Airguns with Randy Mitchel

Clockwise from upper left. Randy Mitchell, owner of Adventures in Airguns and long time hunting partner, with the first Kentucky whitetail taken with an airgun. Randy worked with Kentucky wildlife officials to get approval to use muzzle loading airguns in the primative weapons season. Next is my first Kentucky deer, and I think the first buck, taken on a hunt with Randy at his lease. Both deer fell to a Quackenbush .50 configured as a muzzle loader and shooting 180 grain roundball. Below is another buck I took using a Sam Yang 909 shooting 220 grain cast soft lead bullets.
