RE: My new .17hmr got its first kills...
Congrats, its an addicting little toy. I have only used my .22 for muskrats since i picked my 17up about 3-4 years ago. I took a nice coon 3 days ago eating at our bird feeder. I took lungs and he never took more than 2 steps. Nasty lil pill, i just can't wait till the ice comes off here then its beaver time, thats where the 17 really shines and out performs anything i have ever seen b4. Was designed for a gopher gun but in my books it is the #1 beaver tool.
