Can't deny 17 is a very good round. And is very accurate. So what it is is quantity vs accuracy.
For price of 20 rounds of the 17 one can
Get 500 rounds of 22.
But 22 has no where near the range of 17.
So tomatoes or tomato.
I like my 22lr I grew up with it.
I have killed a lot with it before there was
Scopes.
But at my age as my eye sight goes to poop and I get more shaky.
I would get a mil scope.
The price is cheap and really helps.
If I need a larger round I have my 223.

And there was a time when I wasn't 70. Killed many with iron sights.
Years ago my buddy shot a jack with a prize inside... it was pretty gnarly. I still give him crap about it. I don't really see any way around it other than it's weird.
Yes I’ve shot them and no you can’t avoid it. The good news Is they multiply like...rabbits.
Hey guys, new virus killing off rabbit/hare populations in the southwest. Rabbit hemmoragic disease. Sorry if misspelled. It kills almost immediately, as of now not transmissible to humans. Signs of infection are; swelling, bleeding from nose or mouth. It apparently has killed almost the whole population in Australia. Research and take precautions. Is it still worth pursuing rabbits/hares?
Yep...I haven't seen it locally...Like most diseases. it will come and it will go...Rabbits are very cyclitic anyway.
Cool video, but you can do the same thing without all that skinning and what have you...Just sayin'….AGAIN.... 
Does anyone process the hides? I used a salt and alum mix last year, soaked them for 48 hours and when I tried stretching the skin it smelled rancid. Ay thoughts?
