Nebraska Squirrel Hunt with my Brocock Bantam!
Not wanting to wait any longer to go squirrel hunting, I take advantage of the early season in Nebraska….. only a 6 hour drive away! I know that it normally makes sense to wait for at least some of the leaves to start coming off the trees before heading into the woods after squirrels. These … Continue reading
After my Squirrel Grand Slam…..Again!!!
Several years ago I proposed a small game hunting challenge I called the North American Squirrel Hunters Grand Slam. This was intended to be an activity that took effort, but was within reach of most people willing to work at it. It is tough to do every year, but as a one time mission the … Continue reading
Fall Squirrel Hunt
I like squirrel hunting in the fall when the leaves are coming off the trees, because the squirrels are moving, both up in the bare branches and also on the ground. You can spot them from a ways off and plan an approach…. on the other hand they can see you from a long ways … Continue reading

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

Squirrel Hunting Specialist
A few months back I ordered a Brocock Specialist in .22 caliber, after having the chance to do a jackrabbit and prairie dog shoot with it up in Northern Arizona. We had several guns along with us, including some very expensive high end masterpieces along on the trip, but I kept finding myself with this … Continue reading
Pest Control and Airguns
It is probably safe to say that most of the Airguns that are purchased domestically would be for plinking and target shooting. But the guns purchased expressly for harvesting animals, are most frequently used to shoot vermin and pest species. This can range from shooting the squirrel or starling raiding the backyard bird feeder to … Continue reading
