Tips and Tactics for Predator Hunting the Desert Southwest

Contributor Aram von Benedikt shares his wealth of expertise on how to effectively predator-hunt the Desert Southwest.

Hardware: Fabarm Autumn

The Fabarm Autumn is a classy, understated, elegant, upland bird gun and every bit the equal—or better—of America’s classics from the first half of the 20th century.

All You Survey …

Do you dream of living on and hunting your own land? One couple purchased their dream, and learned a few things along the way they'd like to share.

First Look: FoxPro Hi-Jack Electronic Game Caller

The Fox-Pro Hi-Jack has been re-engineered to produce large volume from a small package. The lightweight kit works off a TX-1000 remote, which comes standard with 100 FoxPro sounds, plus the FoxPro free sound library (which itself has over 100), and the ability to hold 1000 more.

Ducks in Historia

Among all the duck-hunting haunts up and down the Mississippi Flyway, a spot in the middle of a water-filled woods just south of Tunica, Miss., between the Mississippi and Coldwater rivers provides wingshooters with a glimpse of Southern tradition. This is Beaver Dam Lake, made famous not only by its fabulous fowling but by one of the South’s prominent sporting scribes, Nash Buckingham.

Making Tracks: 2021 Yamaha Wolverine RMAX2 1000 XT-R

Dubbed the “ultimate terrain tackler,” the 2021 Wolverine RMAX 1000 features an all-new chassis and engine, a new Yamaha Drive-Mode power-delivery system, a Fox suspension, driver-centric comforts and a bed capable of hauling up to 600 pounds.

Hardware: Meopta Optika5 2-10x42 Rimfire

The Optika5 Rimfire is a well-made riflescope that is reasonably priced, given its optical quality, making it ideal for a rimfire squirrel or small-game rifle.

Behind the Bullet: .22 WMR

Driving a 40-grain bullet at a muzzle velocity of between 1875 and 1910 fps, if you desire to pursue furbearers and varmints at ranges beyond what the .22 LR can handle, the .22 WMR is your cartridge.

Join the Hunt: Get Real About Gear

New shooters don't need the newest, most technologically advanced gear to be successful in the field. It's practice, not product, that makes perfect.
