Planning a Hunting Road Trip
One of the questions I get a lot, is how do you find places to hunt. While it’s true that in recent years I’ve been invited on a lot of hunts, it is equally true that I am always on the lookout for new opportunities. And I try to find opportunities that anyone can replicate … Continue reading
A Pair of Brocock Rifles on Squirrel Patrol
Trip to Virginia I’ve made some good friends and airgun hunting buddies down in Virginia over the last 8 years, and try to get down every year to hunt with them.

Hi All! I’ve been out hunting for about a week, so my posting is a bit late…. Sorry. Was visiting and hunting with friends in Virginia, we went after deer and bear.

Gearing up for a springer hunt!
As I mentioned in some recent posts here, Facebook, YouTube, and a couple magazine articles, most of my hunting recently has been with PCP’s but this year I intended to get out more with my springers. Don’t get me wrong, I love my PCP’s and they will make up the bulk of my hunting gear. … Continue reading
Compatto and prairie dogs!
This weekend I was down in Texas on a hog hunt which was not so successful, because of the very hot weather and dry conditions the pigs had gone just about fully nocturnal. So I was hunting very early and very late until nightfall, with a lot of down time during the day. To keep … Continue reading
Springers!
I was on the phone with AOA’s head honcho Robert Buchanan last week, and we were talking about some of my upcoming hunts. Sometimes I take my own guns, sometimes I borrow guns to try out in the field, and I was asking Robert if there was anything new to use for small game. He … Continue reading
