And I just got done with a brand new wolverine box so maybe I’ll set it out there somewhere. All my Connie’s that I got out are 220s at the moment. It’s the biggest I can set by hand. Lost my 330 setters so I haven’t been messing with them. So far the victor 1.75s are working perfectly. I’ll take a picture of how I been setting them up later. Probably 10-15 of those Fox were shot while driving up and down the line with a single shot .22 lr. I also just picked up a new rifle today. Savage .17 WSM. See how it does for Fox here in the next few days

It's "dudical " (that was a word my 10 yr old son made up for anything he thought was really good .) You can ride a fast horse slow but you can't ride a slow horse fast .

A friend of mine has been shooting fox with the WSM and has been satisfied with it's performance and not complained about fur damage. Sonny, how has the 17 been on the critters you shot! mt

I hit him perfectly in the lungs and he died in less than 10 seconds and the fur damage was way less than a .223 which is what I used before I had my .17 wsm. I think my next gun will be a .17 hmr. Really love the rim fire calibers lately since I been focused so much on Fox. Hope to set my long line in a week or two

On a perfect hit the 17 makes pin holes but on a less than perfect it can get a little uglier. I picked up a CZ autoloader in 22 mag about 5 yrs ago the thing has been paid for a couple times with the fox, otter and wolverine it has killed. The auto load has worked flawlessly and it is a trapline gun so it isn't always clean as you would think an auto loader should be We get out of life only as much as we really want and work hard enough to achieve

Will hit a dime size circle every time, at 50 yards. If I do my part. Ha... Longest shot was 124 paces, one shot in the lungs. It does not exit.... Very nice... STOP AND SMELL THE COON BAIT
