When it rains ….. It pours!
Well, my California turkey hunt was a great experience, but from a results standpoint not what I’d hoped for. It took three days of hunting some very rugged country in the foothills leading up to the Sierras, to finally shoot a tom on my last day. That story is being used for an upcoming article, … 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
Long Range Pest Shooting
I get a lot of questions about using standard caliber (.22 and .25) Airguns for long range pest control. In this context, long range means 75 to 125 yards, and the viability is dependent on three primary variables: environmental conditions, the gun, and the ammunition. If everything lines up, you can get impressive results on … Continue reading
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

Bushbuck in Texas
I confess, the title is a little misleading, I was not hunting African exotics in Texas, but rather I brought the Airguns of Arizona big bore Bushbuck to bag some Lone Star hogs. And this high power tackdriver did the job for me ….. again! The rifle is a .452 caliber generating about 600 fpe on full power … Continue reading
Early Hunts With the Discovery
Here’s a PCP rifle that has gotten a lot of shooters interested in hunting with a air, the Discovery from Crosman. The reason this gun has appealed to a lot of new airgunners entering the precharged arena is multifold: it is inexpensive, it is rugged and reliable. offers pretty good performance on small game, is light and … Continue reading
A Pick Up Rabbit Hunt
I was looking back over some older files, and came across a pickup rabbit hunt I did in Michigan a few years back. I’d just received a new rifle to test out, the Roehm Huntmaster, I’d been sent botht he rifle and carbine version. I’d really lioked the prototype of this gun when I’d seen … Continue reading
