It's looking like I'm gonna miss deer season this year, so I was thinking about doing some varmit/pest hunting over the summer. I'm stationed at Ft Bragg, in the sandhills of NC. Don't have too many yotes, so I was thinking about a Marlin 917 or a Handi-rifle. Based on the varmits common to here, I'm thinking the largest cartridge I would go for would be 22 Mag. But I'm leaning toward .17HMR. What do y'all think?
