Small Game

Rabbit hunting is about as fun as it gets when it comes to hunting small game.

At the roar of my single-barrel 12-gauge Stevens shotgun, an enormous cloud of dry October dust enveloped the cottontail rabbit bounding full speed across my Dad's cut soybean field.

Every type of squirrel hunting has its own unique appeal. The stand hunter enjoys scouting for sign, such as chewed corn husks and hickory nut fragments, then setting up in the perfect spot and waiting for the quarry to begin its morning or afternoon feeding. The still hunter likes a more active approach, moving slowly through hardwoods like he was on a miniature big game hunt, searching with eyes and ears for the telltale sign of his quarry.
