One of my favorite pastimes. Sniping those things. Keeps me sharp for larger game too. Used a .17HMR in Ohio. having a little bit of a problem finding a place to shoot the little suckers in my new State of Michigan. Don't know to many people yet. They're actually not bad eating either. just need...

Let the games begin.

I always thought that a .30 caliber entrance wound was a natural cause.

Yeah, me too. Now that's about what we're paying for a tank full of gas.

Most of my shots are short, I've used and liked both the .17 HMR with 17 grain V Max, and the .22 Mag. with 30 grain V Max. both kill with minimal pelt damage, but the .22 Mag. does it a little faster. For longer range the 53 or 55 grain V Max is a very good round depending on which you gun...

17 HMR, .223, 6.5 Creedmoor, .308, .338 Lapua.

Personally, I sort a like the S&W .460 Mag. with 5" Bbl. A little heavy but allows for use of 3 different rounds. Weight not bad when carried in a chest holster.

Started all 7 of mine at the age of 8 yrs.
