Alot of places allow you to pursue hogs during small game but you must use the same guns allowed for small game. My question... 22 mag is leagal for small game right? It says 22 rimfire and the mag is a 22 rimfire. Just tired of people telling me a 22 mag isn't legal for small game in alabama. Coon hunters and squirrel hunters have told me this. They also say a 17 isn't legal either but the rules only say 22 or smaller so I would think both are legal
