Going hunting in December

Dad has set us up to do a hog/deer hunt in December. We can use the powder burners on the pigs at night, and crossbows for deer during the day. Since I am honestly not that interested in the deer(not saying I won't take one with the chance), I was considering bringing my new to me 850, since I know that the racoons and possums will be out too. Guide said 20-40 yards, so I need to get the gun scoped and sighted in for probably around 30 and figure drops out. Roald suggested Kodiaks or Beeman FTS for the job, and to stick with headshots on the racoons. Seems doable with a few AS cartridges through the gun first. Other comments would be welcome, like sighting in, and pellet preference. If you live in Central Texas, maybe you could loan me a scuba tank for 3 weeks so I can go HPA early.

Sounds like a nice trip you have planned.
Can't you rent a tank or two from your local scuba store?
Mine rents but I'm not sure they will rent to air gunners....

I'm thinking about that. I have a scuba license, but I don't know if I want to make up the rest of it to get one. Gonna post up on the yellow to see if anyone will lend me some air.

I will see if anyone will lend a helping hand, and if that doesn't pan out I will call some places about the tank rental.
