Oregon Ground Squirrels Hunt

Plan on doing that when I visit Wyoming this year
 
I just picked up a SS heavy barrel Savage B-Mag 17 WSM. Throws a 20gr pill at 3000fps. All I've got to shoot is paper so far, but I bet it would be excellent on ground squirrels! I took it to NM last weekend but jack rabbits were scarce with the wind blowing so hard.
Cheers,
Cody
 
The .17 has to be the absolute most perfect jack rabbit gun. I shot them for years and years with a .22 and .223 then tried a .17 and was really impressed. It just stopped them dead. No fuss no muss.

It is a must... a bucket list item for sure.

Preparing for the adventure of a lifetime. Looking forward to my 2026 Africa hunt with Van Wijk Safaris in South Africa.

What a great way to kick off our 2025 hunting season in South Africa.

This beautiful Impala ram was taken at just over 300 yards, took a few steps and toppled over.

We are looking forward to the next week and a half of hunting with our first client of the year.

Do you have any more copies of African Dangerous Game Cartridges, Author: Pierre van der Walt ? I'm looking for one. Thanks for any information, John [redacted]
