sir, that is illegal.
but if they werent, almost anything that you can hit what you are shooting at with would, theoretically , work.

I don't think a woodpecker can pull the trigger.
.177 is sufficient, a break action with integrated suppressor is reasonably quiet.

Simple break over in .22 cal
When the DNR arrests you it will be the most expensive air rifle ever. Post kills on Facebook or you are a cowardly cunt.

Fry them up and eat the evidence , once they bore a hole into your house they lose protection status. Woodpeckers are known to fly into the path of pellets for some strange reason around these parts.........
This is really step 8 or 9. Step 1 is shoot the bird. Step 2, dispose of bird. Step 3, enjoy quiet. Somewhere you get to step 8 and 9, but at that point....meh.Step 1 check The List of Migratory Bird Species Protected by the MBTA

What better reason to invest in a 40mm launcher and a shitload of “bird bangers”
If your a poor like me, then a 37mm will suffice as long as it is an m79 clone.

Ideally I’d use HE or HeDP, but apparently we’re not allowed to kill them?
I meant step 1 before posting in a public forum
Maybe the OP should post up pics of his kill?
The way I saw this thread was, since it's all obviously hypothetical, facetious, and acronym-enhancing, all wrapped up in ridiculousness, it was only logical to go the next step.
Simply because the nuclear option is so hard to obtain/create. But Amazon definitely DOES surprise....
Probably a sub 17 caliber pistol. The smallest one you can find. Woodpeckers have short arms and are recoil sensitive.
They taste better than blue jays but honestly buy a plastic owl and put near where the lil peckerheads are hammering.

Davey Crocket might end up killing more than a bear
.22 LR bolt rifle
.22 CB cap ammo
If you have a can, use that too, but not really needed.
CB caps will be quieter than a pellet gun by a huge amount.
They are hard to find these days and that is probably why.
CCI appears to have some ???

I don't have any experience with that, though.
Whatever will work on a bald eagle should work on a woodpecker...
Just a casual observation...
I bought a 22 cal Gamo pellet rifle with an integrated moderator for my wife, She is deadly with it.
BUT...I use a TBAC Ultra 7 223 on my Bergara B14R and it is MUCH, MUCH, MUCH more quiet. Also, 22LR is substantially more powerful than all but the most expensive 22 cal pellet rifles.

there are some suggestions to discourage them without breaking the law.

Why do woodpeckers like to hammer on houses? And what can I do about it?
Acorn Woodpeckers have been known to make holes in houses to store their acorns. Photo by Maureen Sullivan via Birdshare. Woodpeckers usually hammer on houses for one of four reasons: Because it makes a loud noise that proclaims the bird's territory and attracts a mate. If the birds are d

As woodpeckers don’t have opposed thumbs and can’t operate most pellet rifle triggers or safeties, I don’t recommend a pellet rifle for a woodpecker.
However, they have strong neck muscle and a good beak, making them ideal candidates for a cannon fired with a lanyard and friction primer. Plus they can use their head strength to really tamp in a load of powder and grapeshot.
Pellet rifles should be saved for animals with binocular vision and opposed thumbs. Such as gibbons and chimps.

Pyramid Air just did a little pest rifle review. (Haven't located it just yet)
I believe one of the most popular was a GAMO whisper for the money. I shot an early one a little bit and was pretty happy with it. Accuracy was good pretty quiet overall.
We now use Benjamin Marauders. Pretty serious rig and not cheap.

I would go with a 300 BLK subsonic suppressed, 4 oz trigger break. You will have to strength train Woody for him to be able to operate.
Or
If you want to off Woody you should be able to operate the 300 easily, won't be any evidence left.

Leave your damn phone at the house
This alleged *someone* was an idiot ?
I've shot bricks and bricks of them, never even a dud round.
I used to live in the big city and there was a norwegian rat infestation when I moved in....they would walk the electric wires.
Technique...
You wait till they have to go around a pole, it slows them down and gives you a decent enough backstop.
There is no longer a rat issue in that neighborhood
CB caps kick the ass of just about any pellet gun made.....you'll have to spend $1500 or so to get a better pellet gun than a CB cap 22.
BTW, I never said to get Aguila Colibri rounds, those suck and I could see one getting stuck in the bore.
Any crosman bb rifle works very well so I'm told from the guy working the gun department in Walmart with no teeth wearing a AI Hat . I'v been told its like sending a 338 lapua at them the way they suddenly fall straight down at 32 ft per second. Another guy told me it works on bats in your eaves as well.
In WA, ‘in the act of predation’ permits some lethal recourse. Your state may have similar language in the Game laws.
.177 rifle with Counter Sniper optics.
My rws 48 with heavy 177's has taken similar sized quarry at 50 yards with instant results.
12 Gauge beanbag rounds are supposed to be non lethal.

All the “it’s illegal” type comments are fucking hilarious. Yall must be city folk, or suburbanites. Just do your best to turn a blind eye to us dirty law breakers. We do all kinds of other swarthy shit too like shooting squirrels when they knaw holes in the eves of the house, and shooting Blue Herrons off the pond that has been freshly stocked with catfish and crappie.
cool.
but you do know there's a difference between what you do when no ones around in real life and what you post about in an open Internet forum crawling with G men and Feds, right?
maybe have more situational awareness, country boy
Look at those internet muscles.
You know Lowlight has already received calls from the woodpecker cops, right?
They are among us every day, just waiting to pounce on the first woodpecker crime. I hear they'll shoot your dog.

woodpecker cops can take your truck and your guns. woodpecker cops dont do no-knocks though. a steel door is recommended
Hello, I wish to purchase a woodpecker license! For Eric. My woodpecker!
