A varmint is a term used in the United States to describe various small to medium-sized wildlife that can be seen as pests or nuisances. Common varmints include groundhogs, coyotes, prairie dogs, crows, and sometimes feral animals.
Varmint hunting serves several purposes, including controlling populations that damage crops, preventing spread of diseases, protecting livestock, improving one's shooting skills, and in some cases, for pelts or fur.
The choice of firearm varies depending on the varmint. For smaller varmints, such as prairie dogs, a .223 or .22-250 rifle is popular. For larger varmints like coyotes, calibers such as .243 Win or 6.5 Creedmoor are preferred.
While some states have specific seasons for hunting certain varmints, others allow year-round hunting due to the animals being classified as pests. Always check local regulations before hunting.
Licensing requirements vary by state and by species. Some states might not require a license for certain pest species, while others may require a standard hunting license.
This depends on the varmint. For instance, coyotes are often most active during dawn and dusk, while prairie dogs are active during the day.
As with all hunting, it's crucial to hunt ethically. This includes ensuring clean, humane shots and not over-hunting a particular area or species.
Lures such as calls, decoys, and scents can be effective. Electronic calls playing distress sounds are often used for coyotes, while simple visual decoys might work for crows.
"Varmint" is derived from the term "vermin." Over time, regional dialects morphed "vermin" into "varmint." It generally refers to animals that prey on livestock, damage property, or spread diseases.
