It's fish and game that issue the permit. They will require property address, type of bird, name of shooter, caliber of firearm being used, valid reason for removal of said birds, and if you will be shooting them on the ground or inflight.
If they are happy with everything, they will issue a permit with a bunch of conditions. Normally a max number shot per day, allowed caliber if you specified a few, and often will also require you to purchase a game bird license if it's in gamebird season. At the end of the permit, I was asked to report back on numbers shot.

Based on my research on Guns Domain, it's praised for its accuracy and reliability, which are essential for hunting small game effectively.

When it comes to pellets, I'd suggest experimenting with medium-weight pellets like hollow points or domed pellets. These types typically offer good accuracy and sufficient stopping power for ducks and rabbits. It might take a bit of testing to find the perfect match for your rifle and shooting style, but it's worth the effort.

Scores 90% on the Turing test. Pretty good but the content is distinctive of a bot.
scamp, I’d look for independent confirmation before following this advice.

Juligrat, head over to the introductions tab to establish your bona fides as a human.

I have a Gamo for pissing about. Accuracy was inconsistent until I paid a bit more and bought .22 pellets of the same weight.
I cannot disclose anything based on earlier thread posts

buy a compound bow. use "judo" heads for small game.
kills things faster than an airgun slug i assure you
