Some good rifle shots and entertaining!
Hunting Ground RATS With A .22 Mag and with Archery!
Some pretty good shooting – clearing ground rats out of a horse arena. This one is using a .22 Mag and finishes up with two excellent shots using a bow and arrow.
For me it’s time to shake off this cold winter and head out to the country and start thinning the population.

Prairie Dog Hunting – Thinning out a prairie dog colony with .17 HMR rfile.
Some good footage here with many slow-motion replays.
It’s always interesting to see how effective the .17 HMR is for small varmints like this.
Enjoy…..
Ground Squirrel overpopulation meets the .17 HMR rifle.
Over 200 ground squirrels shot in a 2 day period. Once again, the .17 HMR proves it’s ability as a fast, flat shooter for small varmints.
Check it out:
I’ve shown this before but wanted to highlight a few things:
1. The .17 HMR is a great rifle for ground squirrel hunting. The .17HMR Ballistic Tips (17 gr) do an awesome job on these small targets. The high speed shock kill very quickly.
2. We used a gun-mounted video camera for this video. It works real slick, especially when shooting by yourself. You don’t need a second person on the camera.
Stay tuned – we’re going to have a contest and a free drawing for a BSA Sweet 17 Rifle Scope in just a few days!
Check with your game and parks or wildlife resources departments in your state and your area. In many states, the season for ground squirrels and many other “pest” species never closes. So, no matter what time of year it is, you can almost always go out and find something to hunt. It’s good for the soul. It keeps you sane.
For example, here’s a list of species in Wisconsin that never closes:
Species with Year-round Hunting Seasons
The following small game species may be taken year-round with any valid hunting license* (except within state park and recreation areas from April 1 to September 14):
The following species may be taken with a firearm year-round with any valid hunting license (except within state park and recreation areas from April 1 to September 14):
*No license is required for a resident, resident’s spouse or resident’s children to hunt small game on the enclosed farmlands where they live.
OK? Now go out and squeeze a few off and keep those shot groups close.
