What can you hunt with a 22lr?

The .22lr cartridge is suitable for hunting some small game species, most notably rabbits and squirrels. It can also be used to hunt small birds, such as grouse, and some larger birds, such as pheasants, if regulations permit. However, it is generally not recommended for larger animals, such as deer, coyotes, or mountain lions, as it is not powerful enough to reliably harvest these species. Always check local hunting regulations before using any firearm, as restrictions may apply to the use of the .22lr for specific species.
