Hunting Grasshoppers



The first guy that got me hooked on air gunning as a adult, was an old hunting guide and writer. I bought a FWB 124 in 177 from him. He was very good story teller and had several airgun hunting stories. Rats and birds at feed stores and dairys turtles and snakes at stock tanks and lakes and so on. Here in Texas espeically in summer we have tons of grasshoppers in the fields . One of the more interesting stories he told was about a friend that put peanutbutter on a barbwire fence at his back property line and then sit on his back porch and shot them all day.

I thought I would pass that idea on here it makes a great challenge and it is a lot of fun. I know some guys are limited in places to hunt and maybe this will help. It doesnt always have to be an expensive hunt in a far away land to be fun!!

Let us hear from you on other things you find to hunt and other baits that may work better than the peanutbutter.

 
In this case 2 flys, fly one landed on my target as I was practicing... fly 2 was snacking on what was left of fly one.
