Killed several coyotes today with one well -placed shot.

[ohlongarmisle]

Pregnant female loaded with pups, check stomach, she came in to bait at sunup as I anticipated due to trail cam monitoring.
Took a 17 Hornet at a lasered 156 yards, lungs,as shown in the picture,ran full tilt about 12 feet in the thick brush, flipped, and died. I pulled her out.I may cut her tomorrow and see how many # 20 since January 1st. And the year is young,I will hammer the urine aka $%ss out of them when the pups are born. Bear in mind the 17 hornet won't kill coyotes, according to some. First picture i'm holding my hand tight against her stomach.

I used 17 for fox to save the hide back when they paid $70. Great Implosion.

Twenty down since January 2026, and the year is young,I never left my property yet.

That 17 sure did the job. You dispelled a myth there.

Thanks for the accolades; however, with practice, a good rifle,trigger and glass out to 200 plus yards,it's a winner. Know the quarry's anatomy, and you're stellar. I have an edge to a point having been on swat when young, intensive training , and the deer killing citywide program. Practice makes perfect. I've used the 17 for five years now on gh's and coyotes with a 99% kill and retrieve ratio, no coyotes were not recovered,and two gh's, a coyote took one,and one fell when hit in a four foot straight down stovepipe hole and wasn't recoverable,i'll pass if the shot is questionable.The 204 rides along when things go north of 250 yards.

Hornady factory Superformance 20 grain V-max I don't and won't reload. They've done their homework with this round, outshoots and outperforms any factory loading out there in my CZ 527 American sporter.

Keep whacking 'em brother!

Might want to change bullets or cartridges, the load you used on that coyote splashed and why it ran so far.

Are you dyslexic?do you even know what a splash is ,that's a spine shot ,12 feet is better than not recovering them ,I'll bet you know lots about that scenario.

Like said it was a splash shot seen plenty when another guy used a 204 with 32 gr. bullet. 17 cal will splash as well if using plastic tipped bullets. just way it is and why I don't bother to use them.

If you say so but remember you're only 80% correct, can you inform me about splashes, something rare in my repertoire. LOL you're entertaining.

 

[TA17rem]

I'm sure you got plenty of experience, why you think that ground hog crawled back into hole.

You two need to find a hotel room you can rent by the hour, takes cash and doesn’t ask for ID.

Don’t forget to take your rulers.

If you do't think Hornet will kill you must think a sword or spear to the chest won't kill.

Never said it don't kill, just saying its not reliable, never was never will be. It's not a deer cartridge let alone coyotes either, yeah blind squirrel finds nut once in a while so what. match cartridge and performance to the game size you plan to shoot, don't try to make a superman out of it or think its just as good as some other cartridge that's made for job. They have coyote killing contests in south take that little cartridge and enter a few and see how it stacks up to guys that using right cartridge for the job. good reason behind why they do.

LOL, I hate splashes all these were splashes,I only shot 80% of these.Check out the double,something only a highly trained expert can accomplish,of which you're not. I'm happy with my progress.

 

[TA17rem]

Why just stop at two??

Play it out right you can get whole family
