Pellet pistols

[Mad Mountain Mike]

I was just wondering if anyone packed a pellet pistol for grouse while backpack hunting. If so what kind, what's it weigh and how much success have you had feeding yourself with it?

I'd just use a 22 pistol.

^^^^ Yes that would be great but up here we're not legally allowed to carry one for the purpose of hunting. ^^^^^

I used to get them with sling shots all the time.

I pack a S and W CO2 pellet gun when I'm rifle hunting. It will kill grouse with a head shot, but the pellets get easily deflected by branches. It's still a lot of fun, and doesn't weigh much
