Be nice to it. Have it re-blued.
The squirrels don't care if it's camo. :P
I don't have the funds right now....so I figured that getting all the rust off of it would be more or less "prepping" it for bluing. I thought about trying it myself, but I made a mess once doing the same thing. :-) Getting paint off is a LOT easier than a bad home bluing job! :-)
