Varmints and predators offer many fun and affordable ways for sportsmen to enjoy the shooting sports and almost year-round hunting opportunities. In an age of escalating costs and more difficult access to quality big-game licenses and hunting properties, varmint hunting keeps hunters and shooters engaged in their favorite pastimes. From small ground squirrels and prairie dogs to potentially lucrative coyotes and bobcats, and freezer-filling wild hogs, nowhere else can the firearms enthusiast receive so much shooting opportunity.

The Predator and Varmint Hunter's Guidebook will teach readers about the many different species of varmints and predators available to hunt around the country, in addition to the best tactics, rifles, optics and ammunition to employ for hunting success. This book is filled with in-depth discussion and insights into specific varmint hunting topics such as the best rimfire and centerfire cartridges to use, handloading ammunition to your own high-performance needs, how to become an expert long-range marksman, and the best hanguns, rifles, optics and other gear for varmint hunters.
