Seems like a lot of hi velocity equipment for work after dark. I'm of the old school so maybe it just seems that way.

I have no experience with either also, there are always 2 of us. One with a 12 gauge and the rifle guy either carries a .204 Ruger or .17 B-MAG. All depends on area we are calling as to which rifle we carry. We want as little pelt damage as possible..
Life's too short, enjoy everyday like it was your last.

I use a 17 Hornet 25 gr hollow point
My friend Joe Zafutto from night eyes lights shoots the same rifle
And kills fox and coyotes consistently out to 200 yards with minimal damage

no experience with either but am in love with the 204 i'm shootin right now. Thinking of building a .204 Ruger in AR platform. What load are you shooting & how is pelt damage w/ it? How long is your barrel? I've heard the 204 doesn't buck the wind well at all but most of my shots are inside 150 yds. & wind is light to moderate at best.
