I must say I'm intrigued about these bitty .17's, but with the paucity of gophers, prairie dogs, and ground squirrels around here I don't know what I would use one on. How do they perform on gnarly tough old groundhogs? I guess I could load one down to very mild velocities and use it on edible gray squirrels along with all the other squirrel killing machines in my arsenal. Coyotes are showing up in my environs but keep mightily to themselves and/or hide out behind suburban neighbor's houses. Transient black bears?
