Yeah it's a savage, 17HMR. I shot 2 of the weekend birds from the cabin porch
Looking out the kitchen window and spotted them out in the "yard"
Pretty funny!
Dave, does that 17 damage a lot of meat or are you doing head shots?
I can shoot bottle caps with that 17 so I do need to start taking head shots. I shot 2 in the body & the bullets I have for it right now are the 20 grain hollow points which litterally explode on impact it's a hell of a feather show when you hit with that little bugger but sadly it doesn't just poke a pencil hole like a round nose rimfire
Not good.

No buck sign Tom, we went for a walk yesterday checking ground blinds and some of the trails that are normally littered with scrapes & rubs during rut and there is no sign of any of that yet.
