i guess i should have said that i would use a .17 on a crows also. but i am from the east and the .17 is pretty much useless here. to small for much of anything else around here. to use a .17 cal on any animal bigger than a crow or squirrel is being irresponsible.
Hogwash, I've killed dozens of groundhogs with my .17, the farthest to date out to 173 yards...I'm still looking for that 200yd shot...Killed them all dead in their tracks. I would not hesitate to pop a fox or yote with mine...Perhaps you better work on your accuracy and shooting skills...
