[QUOTE="Tnwhip, post: 1026435, member: 32195"] I don't have many to choose from. We have ground hogs but not enought to hunt. I am 100 % on the 3 I have killed in my life. I have lots of beavers to shoot. I hit most of them, because most are under 50 yards but swimming. Coyote, I do pretty good on them. I have missed 5 out of 28. I don't shoot foxes anymore, sence the coyote's have come here, just don't see that many. When I do I let them go. Don't shoot Bobcats either. I saw one last week 3 times eating on a deer carcass I had put out for the coyote's. Armadillos are fun to shoot. Saw one last week about 200 yards and didn't have my rifle. Now the hardest Varmint to hit and the one I have the most of is Crows. I have been shooting at them for over 50 years. Started with a 22 rimfire and shotgun.
