My situation is very different than others which I've seen in that I am in a situation where I constantly have a deer herd (6 deer) on my property (8 acres, sort of fenced in) who I cannot legally kill (suburban/rural location) but would like to discourage from coming here .
Would "shooting" them with a .177/.22 pellet air rifle (1000/800 fps and 7.5-8.5 grain) on several occassions finally encourage them to go elsewhere without seriously wounding them? I can't legally hunt them with an appropriate weapon so I just want them to feel it enough without long term damage to decide they should relocate.
If this could work any idea on where to aim?
I know this is a fairly unusual question but I would appreciate any info. I assume it would be legal to use a non-lethal weapon, am I wrong?
