Thoughts on Predator Hunting
I really enjoy speaking with and writing for other airgunners, they get it and you can dig down deep. But one of the other goals that I take a lot of enjoyment in us bringing new participants into our (very cool) sport. Of the four magazines I write for, two of them are mainstream hunting … Continue reading
Airgun Safari: Photos from the Trip!
Here I was after 30 some hours of travel, back on the Dell farm on the Eastern Cape of South Africa, and this place is like a homecoming for me! I’d met up with Kip, David, and Chris in Atlanta, I made it to the plane right before the door closed, and flew with the … Continue reading
Out with the Boss!
I was out a couple times this weekend, getting some practice with my guns before we leave for the Eastern Cape. This weekend I focused on the FX Boss, which is going to be my gun for small game up to predators, and maybe the mini-antelope. As you probably know, this is an upsized version … Continue reading

Getting Ready for South Africa Were counting down to our departure date for South Africa, there are four of us going on this trip. Kip Perow from AoA and one of their customers by the name of David are joining me, as well as a cameraman. We’re going out to hunt with my good friends … Continue reading
My Favorite Stocks

It doesn’t matter how powerful or the inherently accurate the gun, if the stock is not right the full potential of the gun cannot be realized. I’ll shoulder the rifle and look at it while getting the feel, … Continue reading
Wolverine and Bobcat
I’ve just spent the last several days hunting down in Texas, and we had to work around suboptimal conditions. I knew going in that April is not a good time, a lot of predators are already denned up, it was forecasted to be unseasonably warm, vegetation is heavy and even when animals come in to … Continue reading
Head Shot Or Chest Shots
I’ve been airgun hunting for about four decades now, and over that time I’ve come across two topics that raise passions, divide hunting camps and lead to arguments between hunting buddies that go on ad infinatum – mainly what is the best hunting caliber and secondly what is the best shot placement, head or chest? … Continue reading
The Wolverine/Huggett: Stealth Predator Gun
I got my new Daystate Wolverine earlier in the week, and with a busy schedule it had to sit for a day or two before I could get it sighted in. I’d had one of the first Wolverines that came into the country to use for a couple hunts, and some range work and plinking … Continue reading
Getting Ready for Spring/Summer Airgun Hunts
It’s been a couple of busy months; new job, selling a house, buying another, and getting my family relocated up to the Minneapolis area. I married my wife in South Africa, we moved back to my native California, then up to Indianapolis, now Minneapolis…… her family thinks I’m taking their daughter on a slow march … Continue reading
