ORIGINAL: life_is_short_hunt_hard

besides squirrel and target, what would a 17 HMR gun be good for? just curious. thanks
You forgot rabbits( including jacks), badger, marmots, and in some extremes with head shots bobcats and yotes. And yes, there are debates on the yote and bobcat situations. I have taken 4 yotes with the .17 HMR at under 120 yards with head shots. I wouldn't stand back and say that the .17 HMR is the go ahead round to kill predators, but it has been done and done successfully.
