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
Raccoon in the Morning
It started as a squirrel hunt on a very early fall morning a few years back. I was hunting my friends place in central Indiana, but when I rolled up the drive, my friend came out to meet me. This was unusual, I hunted the property often but almost never saw anybody when I arrived … 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

Whats in a trophy?

I was using firearms for small game, mule deer, blacktail deer, feral hogs, bird hunting and predators in my native California for many years before moving to Airguns. As a matter of fact, … Continue reading
The Perfect Small Game Hunting Gun: Daystate Huntsman Classic
I get a lot of questions about my favorite rifles for small game, predators, big game, long range shooting, etc. This is a very hard topic to answer, because quite frankly I like many airguns. But also because in the situation I am in as a writer, I have to try to move the answer … Continue reading
Squirrel Hunting With The FX Royale
The last couple of years I have more used more guns and been on more hunting trips than I could write about, so this month I want to reach back to a gun I used a lot and really enjoyed taking into the field. One of the great things about writing is that I get to try … Continue reading
Airgun Hunting the USA
We have a fairly large community of hunters in the United States, and are favored with a lot of game and plentiful land to hunt on. In addition, there are few restrictions on gun ownership and the price of firearms is fairly low. As a result, airguns have remained relatively unknown here as they have not … Continue reading
