Hunting with slingshots has many adult fans.  Though many may have started with their own homemade slingshots as boys, they have continued to be fascinated by hunting with a primitive weapon, even if that primitive weapon has entered the high tech age.

Hunting slingshots today come in a bewildering variety of styles and shapes and materials.  They are no longer “toys” but have become powerful machines that in the right hands can bring down all manner of game.  Even so, hunting with modern slingshots  requires a high degree of stalking and shooting skill that can only be acquired by much dedication and practice.

In the “old days” when boys built their homemade slingshots out of a tree branch fork and some old inner tube rubber, they had weapons that were sufficiently powerful to take small game, but  were somewhat crude compared to commercially available slingshots today.

Several areas of advancement come to mind.  There are radical improvements in propulsion power,  fork design and materials, and a much more sophisticated understanding of the physical dynamics of slingshot shooting.  In addition, we now have regional and national clubs of  slingshot afficionados and big competitions among the top shooters.  Things in the slingshot world have been moving right along.  And it is not limited to the US.

When you go online and follow some of the forums inhabited by slingshots experts, it is amazing to see the sheer knowledge and expertise displayed.  Whether  people are target shooters or hunters – or both – it is great fun to watch the back and forth discussions of these men (mostly) who find in slingshot shooting and hunting a challenging and absorbing hobby.

When I made my own slingshots as a boy during the 1950’s, the biggest problem was getting access to a good supply of decent rubber.  Today, the markets, both online and offline,  are loaded with good latex and other stuff for building powerful weapons.  Commercial slingshots come with tubular or flat band propulsion.  Some have tapered bands for better action.  Some have the power tol launch steel or lead balls for hundreds of yards..

You can get stocks made of steel, aluminum, wood – you name it.  Some folks still make old fashioned style slingshots, but with beautifully carved stocks of exotic wood.  All use the very best rubber and leather pouches so the result is not only lovely, but a highly tuned instrument that is a joy to own and shoot.  Hunting with slingshots has become an art form. (shush! don’t tell anyone)

Most slingshot shooting is still a matter of instinctive aiming.  But now you can get the modern flipper with sights, even “laser” sights.  They are a lot of fun to try.

One neat thing about hunting with slingshots is that you can hone your shooting skills by practicing in your own basement or backyard.  You don’t have to drive far or join a gun club to  make it happen.  It is easy to make up your own targets and backstops.  Catch your ammo and use it over and over again.  So then, on that day when you do get out into the great outdoors to pursue those squirrels or rabbits or pheasants, you are ready to see what you can do.  And you might even surprise yourself.  The weapon will do its part, as long as you can do yours.

Hunting with slingshots: a modern sport for both boys and men.  And women, too!

Going hunting doesn’t always mean that you can always have steak on the dining table at the end of the trip. Sometimes, hunter can also miss the target.

Another time I was hunting down state, with my trusty .38/55. This is one of the most dependable guns I ever owned. It has never failed me, except one time when I broke the loading gate, and another time when I tried some reloaded fodder—loaded with home-made black powder. It is best not to fool with such stuff unless you know what you’re doing. Black powder fouls up everything.

I had hunted all morning without a bit of success and, since I was near home when noon came, I went to the house for lunch. I had some “little ones” around at that time, and I jacked the cartridge out of the barrel when I took the gun inside. However, I left the cartridges in the magazine. After eating, I went in another direction, thinking deer might be in that locality.

I hadn’t gone far, following a game trail up over a ridge, when I detected motion in the trail ahead. I stopped and awaited developments. A big doe and fawn came down trail towards me. Now in a case like this, I like to wait and see what the deer will do. In this instance, I knew well enough that the doe would keep coming until she saw me, then would swing broadside and stop for a short time until she had positively identified me. While I waited, I considered how lucky I was to find my deer so near the road and with a downhill haul all the way. The doe came to a point within a hundred feet of me before she saw me. When she did, things happened as I expected, and I swung the gun so that the sights were lined on her shoulder. I squeezed the trigger, and nothing happened except the click of the hammer on the firing pin. I had forgotten to jack a cartridge into the barrel when leaving the house.

At the click of the gun, the doe took off through the brush. She made a half circle around me at a distance that never exceeded two hundred feet, always in sight through the trees. I fired six shots at her without ruffling a hair on her hide. Such slight things will upset the nervous system of most of us and I had a serious case of buck fever at that time. Oh well! There is always another deer. Speaking of unsuccessful morning hunting, three of us had such a morning some years ago in the woods of our Somerset County.

There had been a heavy, damp snow during the night. It stuck to the trees so the woods were very quiet—you know that such stuff on trees will absorb any sound a hunter might make. These conditions make ideal hunting, if a man doesn’t mind a little snow down his neck; but the deer seldom move about on their own. A hunter must stalk their beds or kick them out in order to have a track to follow—if he expects to do much. We hunted all morning without finding a track. By noon, we were soaked to the skin and ready to call it a day. Leaving the woods we went to a farmer’s house, where we’d left the car. The farmer invited us in to dry out and eat our lunch. We were thirty miles from home and hated to leave without a deer.

There is always another day to come back for hunting if the first attempt doesn’t come successfully.

Raccoon hunters have become a dying breed; what once was a popular rural pastime has now faded into history. Most hunters now focus their attentions to bigger game like deer and bear, but raccoon hunting can be just as satisfying as these other hunts. Raccoon hunting can be a great thrill and should be considered by the hunter looking to try something new. It’s a very kid-friendly sport, and is great if you’re looking to just introduce kids into the world of hunting. Because coon hunting has been all but abandoned, it’s a hunt that will actually do good for the raccoon population. Raccoons have become grossly overpopulated, with more and more digging into neighborhood garbage for food, the raccoon population needs to be controlled.

There are a few supplies necessary for a successful coon hunt. Since raccoons are nocturnal, meaning they sleep during the day and move around at night, a hunter cannot rely as much on his eyesight. Having a good coon dog can add a new dimension to the coon hunt and increase a hunter’s chances of success. Not only are the dog’s eyes more adept at seeing at night, his nose is much better at picking up the subtle scents around him. Plus, hearing your dog start to bark when he picks up a scent is an adrenaline rush unlike any other.

The next thing every hunter will need is something to help him see so he’s not stumbling around blind in the woods at night. A flashlight is a good start, but you may want to consider a hat mounted light. While flashlights might be easier to maneuver, they can also be a nuisance to carry, so a hat mounted light is generally much more practical. There are also a number of accessories available that either have lights on them, are glow in the dark, or at the very least will reflect light to aid the hunter in the dark; a compass with some form of light will definitely prove a worthwhile investment.

Safety is another issue to be especially concerned with when coon hunting. Often times it is a hunt involving more than just a couple of people, and since it happens at night, the hunter needs to be extremely careful. Be sure that everyone stays relatively close together, and that everyone is wearing reflective vests. As long as safety is the top priority, a coon hunt will always be an exciting experience, whether there are any trophies to bring home or not.
