Yes but it takes a special type of pellet gun not your normal every day pellet gun. The model I an referring to are in the class of PCP (PreCharged Pneumatic) air rifles. These rifles require a special pump or Scuba tank to charge them to 3000 PSI and are capable of firing large pellets up to 50 caliber and can bring down a deer or boar. these rifles are also much more expensive than the average pellet gun or rifle.

Can a 1200fps gun kill a bear?

No! And for those that think the bear will ignore it I'll just say this. If you are OUT OF YOUR MIND and use a pellet gun then the bear WILL NOT, I REPEAT, WILL NOT IGNORE IT! IT WILL ATTACK! Therfore the only out come is it will charge you while you are reloading your precious single-shot pellet gun and will have you for supper.

Can a pellet gun kill a turkey?

Possible- depending on the pellet gun. I hunt smaller animals (squirrels) with a Sheridan 5mm rifle. It WILL kill a squirrel at 45 yards. However, a squirrel and a turkey are 2 very different animals. To kill a turkey cleanly, it would have to be a head shot- and turkeys are VERY skittish animals. You also need to check if it would be LEGAL to kill a turkey with a pellet gun in YOUR state (assuming we are talking about a wild turkey) The game laws are different for each state.
