“rodents”

If you’re looking for the utmost in rimfire velocity to knock out groundhogs, prairie dogs and even coyotes, the Franklin Armory F17-L will bring it. Built on the AR platform and designed specifically for the .17 Winchester Super Mag., the F17-L uses a gas-piston operating system paired with a rotating, locking bolt—similar to what you’d find in a piston-driven centerfire AR.

Here’s how to best use one of the least-used predator calls: the mouse squeaker.

New bullets and loads can increase accuracy and minimize pelt damage. The best varmint ammo depends on your needs. Here’s a guide to help you find a match.

Modern technology has turned the air gun into a legitimate hunting tool. Here’s what you need to know to take a plunge into the world of air-powered projectiles.

Treestands, like other pieces of equipment, need some “winterizing” treatment. Before storing your stands, inspect them for these signs of wear and tear.

Coyotes can become accustomed to the usual tactics. To get the best of them, forget calling and think like a deer hunter.

The Carnivore can send its .30-caliber, 44-grain payload at a lizard-thumping 860 fps with enough air in the tank for about 20 shots before losing velocity. For the stateside small-gamer, that’s plenty of power in a single tank to get through an average hunt. Refilling a spent tank can be done quickly with the aid of a pre-filled scuba tank and adaptor kit or, using a bit more manpower, a PCP hand pump.

Increased interest in predator hunting has educated coyotes. If you’re hunting smart dogs no longer fooled by prey-in-distress, maybe it’s time to rely instead on vocalizations made by the dogs themselves or their Western neighbors, scavenger birds.

Among all the world’s riflescope manufacturers, Nikon has arguably done the best job of making it easy to buy the right scope for specific shooting jobs.
