Camouflage for Airgun Hunters
I’ve been asked about wearing camouflage when airgun hunting, and whether it makes a significant difference. Much of the quarry that airgun hunters pursue have well-developed eyesight, such as squirrels and woodchucks. Real-world experience has convinced me that going into the woods in full camouflage for these species greatly improves my success rate. Some years … Continue reading
Pig Hunt with the KalibrGun Cricket II Tactical .30!
For some reason with all the guns I shoot from just about every manufacturer, it’s amazing that it took me so long to get my hands on one! But I finally have one to test out and decided to head down to Texas with it on a hog hunt. A friend of mine had a … Continue reading
Does Camo Clothing Improve Success for the Airgun Hunter?
Part I Several years ago, when I started hunting in South Africa, I found that I’d usually be the only hunter in the group wearing camo. There was some good-natured ribbing about the camo clad American redneck, but my local friends would tell me that if you worked the wind and shadows properly it wasn’t … Continue reading
Turkey Hunt in Texas
In recent years, many states have crafted airgun friendly regulations for small game hunting with an airgun. There has also been a trend, but moving slower, to add regs on the book to allow big game, and there are currently several states where an airgun hunter can take a deer. However, turkey are another matter. … Continue reading
Struck Out on Turkey…. Getting Ready for Round II…..

Prepping the Renegade for Hunting Season!

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
Grand Slam of North American Squirrel
I love just being out hunting, but think that at the same time there is something cool about a quest …. giving yourself a challenge or a goal, which to my way of thinking enriches the experience. I’ve had several in my life, and with respects to hunting, fishing, and backpacking have had many, accomplished … Continue reading

One of the perks of my role as an Airgun writer is that I get to travel to a lot of different places to hunt. One of the questions I get fairly regularly is where do I like to go and where would I recommend others give a try. To this end I’ve picked my … Continue reading
Traveling for a Hunt
I’m on my way to California for my spring turkey hunt. In the last two days, I have seen probably over a hundred gobblers and hens within 10 miles of my house.
