UPDATE................ Still looking for those with 17 hmr experience on the woodchuck / marmot family of critters
Would 200+ yard, instant, one shot kills on rabbits work as evidence?

True but the ammo chosen sometimes plays a part. A body shot on a squirrel with lead round nosed by be mortal, but not quickly lethal, eh?Just my opinion, but adequate skill in hitting a vital spot makes the use ethical. Unethical would be shooting and just hoping for a proper hit.
Dave, you're nit-picking. Many and many a mortally hit but not yet dead animal has had the hunter do some sort of coup de grace.

I figure that people who post here are generally well above in skill level as compared to the "every now and then" hunter.
