Tom,

Guess you do have a bit of a problem there. Nice area,just not conductive to long range shooting.

Pretty much the same here in New England. Average hunting distance is 50 yards with most being way less than that.

Squirrel shots,20 yards..maybe.

In my state,handgun hunting permitted but up to 22 caliber (meaning 22 lr/22 mag) so it is basically for small game.

Airguns up to 22 caliber and no suppressors allowed for hunting.
