Predator hunting
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
Lamping: Turn on the nightlight
I know that installment two of the squirrel hunting piece is owed, but I’m going to take a little side trip before wrapping that topic up. I’ve been getting a lot of emails asking about lights and lighting systems used for night hunting, which isn’t as common in the States, but is used by airgun hunters … Continue reading
Calls for Airgunners: A quick primer
A lot of the techniques used for firearms hunting are directly applicable to airguns as well, and one of my favorite crossover techniques is the use of calls to bring my quarry into range. Several years ago I started carrying mouth blown predator (typically distress) calls in my pack, regardless of what I was after. … Continue reading
Shooting the Veminator Extreme!
There are a lot of new airguns coming out these days, and I’m lucky because I get to shoot many of them. I like a lot of rifles, and try to keep an open mind when looking at new offerings. If we all liked the same thing, there would only need to be one gun, … Continue reading
On to the Rockchucks!
In the blog this week, I’ll carry on with the airgunning adventure started last week. I am spending more time in Arizona for a couple reasons; first I have always loved this state; from the pine covered mountains up north to what I consider the most beautiful desert in the world, the unique Sonoran with … Continue reading
Rambling on about airgun stuff
Well, this week’s blog post is going to cover several topics; I had a hunt in Texas last week where I had the chance to shoot predators using the Wolverine, and next week I’m off to Arizona where I’ll get to meet up with my buddies from AoA, Kip and I are going to take … 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
