varmint hunting calibers

What is varmint hunting? Varmint hunting is pest-control hunting focused on nuisance wildlife—coyotes, prairie dogs, groundhogs, and similar small predators/rodents—to protect crops, livestock, and native habitat. It emphasizes precise, ethical shots using rimfire or centerfire rifles (e.g., .17 HMR, .223 Rem, .22-250), good optics, and calls, often at longer ranges. Popular as an off-season shooting sport, varmint hunting should always follow local laws, seasons, and landowner permissions.
