*** Most "in the know" consider the .22 mag to still be on the low side and if they are only having "decent" results that should tell them to step up to a larger gun so the animal is dispatched right there and doesn't run off. I've heard some say on topics like this that "it's only a yote" and that doesn't sit well with me or others who want a humane kill regardless of what animal it is! This has been an excellent thread with very good info. for someone who is inexperienced with varmint hunting. Good job everyone!
