Simply put...not well at all.

If you can plunk them in the brain or spine them...it will work. Otherwise you had better be into tracking orthrowing a lot of lead.

I'm still not sold on the 17HMR for yotes, either. I don't have enough experience to give them a thumbs up or down. I know that a 223 is ideal for my situation.

A .22 would work for like less than 50 yards in the head. I personally use a .223 and my dad uses a .204. I wouldnt recommend it unless you want to call them in really close which is hard to do without getting busted.
