Does Camo Clothing Improve Success for the Airgun Hunter?
Part II I’ve used many different camo patterns over the years, as I’ve hunted deserts, plains, mountains, tropical swamps and jungle, and waist deep snow fields. I’m not sure an exact match between the camo pattern and the natural surroundings is mandatory, but blending in helps. This is the most obvious when hunting in snow; … Continue reading
Fall Squirrel Hunt
I like squirrel hunting in the fall when the leaves are coming off the trees, because the squirrels are moving, both up in the bare branches and also on the ground. You can spot them from a ways off and plan an approach…. on the other hand they can see you from a long ways … Continue reading

Squirrels in the Winter
Even though I’ve lived in the midwest for several years now, I am at heart a warm weather sort at the core. As a matter of fact I’d go so far as to say I’m something of a desert rat, give me 110 in the shade and as long as its a dry heat, I’ll … Continue reading
