Hunting Accessories
Getting the band back together! Kicking off a new series of the AOA hunting blog!
After a long hiatus, we’re getting the blog back up and running! Introduction: Greeting all, it’s good to be back on the hunting blog! While we never officially ended it, over the last couple of years I have been sidetracked with other projects, which made it hard to keep up with regular postings. But as … Continue reading
The Traveling Hunter Revisited
In 2014 I wrote a blog post on the traveling airgun hunter, and I focused on the actual travel to hunt. I’m going to revisit the topic, but this time also spend more time looking at how to find a place to hunt. In any given year, I am lucky enough to travel and hunt … 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
Gearing Up For The Hunt!
In this post I’d like talk about some of the gear I use when hunting. I know I’ve covered this topic in other post a while back, but I’ve gotten a lot of request since then to revisit the subject. This list could get very long because I hunt a variety of species, in diverse … Continue reading
Road Trip for Prairie Dogs: Out with the Renegade!
Deep in the throws of winter, and having gone through multiple days of -25 degree weather, I started daydreaming about warm weather hunting and a prairie dog shoot we’re in the process of planning. This will be the third year my friend Brett Waibel over at Bad River Birds and Bucks in South Dakota has … Continue reading
Prepping the Renegade for Hunting Season!
I spent the weekend shooting the Daystate Renegade, the second bullpup design out of this great airgun manufacturing powerhouse. The first was the Daystate Pulsar, a beautiful and technology packed bullpup. And while I loved shooting that gun (and it shot very well), my taste run more towards less complex technology for the field…. The … Continue reading
Recent Texas Pig Hunt
Just returned home after a few days of hunting in Central and West Texas; the good news was that it was a great series of hunts, I shot a few hogs with different Airguns, got out for quite a few rabbits in my down time from pigs, and I got to a feedlot to shot … Continue reading
Another Favorite: The Daystate Huntsman!
I am getting a lot of squirrel hunting in this year, having lined up four different farms that are a 15-45 minute drive from my house. These spots don’t get much small game pressure, and the populations of gray and fox squirrels are good. At two of these properties I’ve only seen gray squirrels, at … Continue reading
Grays and Fox squirrel up next!
I took off last week on the next leg of my squirrel grand slam quest, to Southern Minnesota after grays squirrel and fox squirrel. A friend has a large tract of wooded land he uses for hunting, primarily deer and turkey. He hasn’t been out in a while, but has given me carte blanche access, … Continue reading
Squirrel Season’s Around the Corner!!
As we prepare to roll into the fall months, I find myself spending a lot more time afield scouting the areas I’ll hunt when deer season opens. Patterning deer activity and deciding where to set up my stand helps my success rate of course, but I also use the time hunting America’s favorite small game, … Continue reading
