Small Game Hunting
Prepping the Compatto!
I’ll be leaving at the end of the week for a few hunts spread over a dozen days all around the great state of Texas. I’ll be doing hunts for a black buck, hogs, predators, and rabbits using several new rifles. The gun I’ve selected for my small game hunt is the Brocock Compatto, a compact little … Continue reading
Choice of Caliber
After all these years of hunting, shooting with, and writing about Airguns, the most frequent question I get is “what caliber is best”? The answer I give is probably not the crisp and clear response that is hoped for, because there are many variables that come into play. Personal preference aside; it depends on the … Continue reading
Mini Expeditions With Your Airgun!
Besides airgun hunting, I like to fish, hike, bike, kayak and camp. To optimize my field time, I’ve been combining these various activities, so I’ll load up my kayak with ultralight camping gear, an air rifle, and take off on an overnighter. This lets me get further into the back country or access areas closed … Continue reading
Back on track!
There’s been a lot going on with the new year; the SHOT Show has come and gone, I’ve had a lot of writing work to get caught up on as well as picking up some new publications, and getting ready for more hunts this year than I’ve ever had in a 12 month period. Also … 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

I was living in Indiana, and hunting many of the midwestern states. The first squirrel season in my region, and a place I always liked going to was … Continue reading
From My Hunting Journal: A Mojave Rabbit Hunt
Here’s an entry I pulled out of my log book from a hunt I did awhile back. I’d time before the SHOT Show and decided to use it on a jackrabbit hunt out in a corner of the Mojave desert I’d been tromping through most of my life. Initially I roamed this area primarily to … Continue reading
Getting My Airguns Ready to Hunt
This has been a busy week for me; I received a couple new big bores that I’ll be talking about in coming months, and started doing range work. I’ll save the details for later, but it’s hard to imagine the out of the box performance being delivered by todays production big bores! Just a few … Continue reading
Falls around the corner; squirrel seasons are kicking off!
We’re getting towards the end of summer and fall is right around the corner as I write blog entry. Soon it will be getting cooler and the start of a new hunting season. Of all the species I hunt with an airgun, squirrel hunting is one that gets me out more days of the year … Continue reading
