By the word " summer" I will confine it from late June until the fourth week in August.
During this time, there is hardly anything to hunt in southern New England. As a teen, there were plenty of opportunities to hunt woodchucks. Not any more.
On occasions I have gone out to the Western part of the US with my Contender for various varmints like rockchucks, prairie dogs, and gophers. It is a ton of fun and not too pricey.
With the price of gas and some home projects, I am usure if I will be going out west.
So, outside of a trip cross country to shoot varmints, it is pretty much paper all the way.
