Interesting. When I was last talking to Fish and Game for getting a permit for Pukeko, they were very interested in ensuring the caliber I was using would have a low chance of injuring an animal. (injure vs quick kill) A .177 air rifle or even .22 air rifle would require a very precise shot, and the chance of injury and escape would be high.
I'll talk to them again when I get the permit renewed next, as something seems off.
