A pig, a 3 - 3-1/2 turn Blackbuck Antelope, and two young Fallow does.
( Just wondering......... Is it really that loud? )
He should have some good eating for a while.

no clue as to the the legality but it wouldn't be too bright for a person to allow such pictures to be posted it it wasn't

I didn't know air guns like this existed until seeing the info on this one

Legality in Texas ( http://tpwd.texas.gov/regulations/outdoor-annual/hunting/general-regulations/means-and-methods )
Pigs are not a game animal.
Blackbuck and Fallow are considered livestock.

Big bore air rifles have been used for a long time they even had one on the Louis and Clark expedition that was a repeater and could be re-pressurized by an air tank,similar to bicycle pump, it was capable of shooting through a one inch sheet of pine at 100 yards, I suggest watching some YouTube videos of big bore air guns I think they are fascinating!!
I have often wondered why they are not more popular!

Probably due to cost. You can buy 300$ bolt rifles that will do the same or more performance plus its easy to carry a ready to go cartridge. They are interesting though. Like everything it has pro and cons.
