    Thought he was clever

    Nice shootin! I give the native Green Anoles a pass but I zap all Brown Anoles. They are invasive.

    Help identify model of rifle

    The breech plug should have a two digit number that will tell you the month and year it was made. For instance, my Sears model 126-19301 is marked 77 indicating that it was made in July of 1967. Sears tended to get new features on their guns before they appeared on the stock Crosman line...

    Help identify model of rifle

    Push out the safety and the barreled action should lift out of the stock. The Co2 guns came with adjustment screws for the sear engagement and length of travel for the trigger. They can be set up very finely. One of the best triggers Crosman ever made IMO. Be aware that the Sears guns were...

    A question for those of you that hunt squirrels in the woods

    In response to the original query I haven’t had a decent Illuminated reticle scope yet. Mine are cheap. Leapers, Pinty, and CenterPoint. Even at the dimmest visible setting there s still too much glare reflected from the reticle. Usually don’t have time to fuss with that sort of trash when a...

    The squirrels are in trouble now...

    I save tender young she’s for the table and feed everything else to the dogs. They love pressure cooked squirrel! Older females and all males are strictly dog food. It does incentivize the dogs. They completely understand the connection from treeing to shooting to eating and they get mighty...

    Kayak Gun - Air Pistol vs Salt Water?!

    I lived at the beach in Florida for years. Now I live in the swamp in Florida, just a few miles from the beach. My 1322 tackle box gun looks like an artifact because of all the rust. Salt, sand, and water will do a number on any gun but PCPs have got to be the most vulnerable. I carry a...

    Who is the biologist/Squirrel hunter on here? Questions for the knowing ones

    I've hunted after ice storms in the Georgia mountains. The temperatures were only in the low twenties but it shut everything down. Interestingly a railroad switch near my house was a mecca for wildlife on freezing days. Thermostatically controlled propane burners lit automatically when the...

    Seriously taking squirrels with 12ft lb?!

    Most of my buddies had Crosman 760's back in the day. Made 7-8 fpe at best. I had a Crosman 1400. Made 10-11 fpe. We killed a lot of stuff! These days I like the extra power of a 14-17 fpe springer though.

    Die-Hard Squirrel (Airgun Hunting Competition Video)

    We used to hunt that way in north Georgia only with shotguns. Not terribly sporting but at least I used a muzzle loading shotgun. I had a great Feist dog in those days. She would climb trees to get to squirrels. I still hunt with dogs. My current pup isn't the greatest but he's got heart...

    Central Florida Hunters

    I've hunted quail along 40 west of Astor though they are rare there these days. Plenty of gray squirrel, coon, armadillo, and hogs in there. Rabbit all over. Leave the Sherman's fox squirrels alone. They are protected. I've killed a few hogs with a .22LR over the years and I'm interested in...

    Central Florida Hunters

    I live in the panhandle but I hunt the Ocala National Forest, Camp Blanding, Matanzas state forest and a few other areas occasionally. I hunt squirrel, rabbit, coon, etc. with magnum springers and vintage pumpers. Thinking about heading south to shoot some Iguana this winter.

    Profile names

    Obvious. I'm fond of alliterative abominations. I'm known as Sgt. Prepper, Duke of Karma, Soul Miner, Bream Reaper and other monikers. Why use the same handle twice?
