Killed several coyotes today with one well -placed shot.

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.

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.
