i can't decide
In Michigan you can only use rimfires to predator/varmint hunt at night. I've gone back and read all the reviews that have been post on here about the 17 hmr and i can't decide between the 17 hmr and the 22 mag. most shots would be 100 yds or less but i would use it for woodchucks, coons, fox, coyotes(if i see one) opposum(sp?) and maybe squirrels. what do ya'll think i should go with

The .17 is much more accurate, and it moves much faster! It is also incredibly accurate 200 yds+. Although the .22 WMR has more energy than the .17. The .22 would penetrate better than the .17 also. But you mentioned the other game that you would hunt with the gun.. so I would have to say .17hmr.

I hunt in Michigan as well, and it almost seems like they are preventing us from shooting them dang coyotes! Gezeee, they make me upset sometimes!
