Small Game
Undoubtedly, most of us got our start hunting smallgame in the woods and fields at a young age. The use of smaller less powerful weapons allow for children to share the joy of hunting with their parents while not being encumbered by a heavy, hard kicking rifle or shotgun. Indeed many of the skills that will be later utilized for larger game later in life are learned in the early years. Marksmanship is learned with a classic Marlin 22 confidently aimed a pudgy ol’ ground hog or a sneaky squirrel. ”Leading” skills are learned by shouldering a 4-10, 20 gauge, or a sweet sixteen after flushed cock birds or jumped rabbits. Some begin even earlier with a Red Ryder or Daisey BB guns and dropping birds and mountain boomers out of the backyard. I think that the opportunities we have to continue to hunt small game are opportunites to relive our youth and remember what and who got us to where we are today.
