What caliber do most trapper uses to shoot beavers. I was debating between 22 magnum or 17 HMR. Is there a caliber that is better ?

22MAG does a very good job on mine

.22 hornet!-deadly and plus if you were walking down the creek in the middle of no where and came across a bear-lookout bear!

Well some one has to be different ..17hmr works well.for me ..[emoji879]

A simple .22 is all I’ve ever used. It’s not the caliber that does it, it’s all up to shot placement.

I mostly use 22mag, but been using 17hmr this year love it. Both are good but like said before all about shot placement.

Depends out checking traps good old open sights 22. Going beaver hunting 17hmr.

Typical,

Hope you didn't opt for a 22 Mag....

17 HMR is cheap to shoot, has far superior ammo available, and is deadly accurate. All I ever carry around is my Marlin 17 HHR. Shot holes the size of a pellet gun, with no exit wound. By far the best trapper's gum IMO. THE BEST beaver gun there is 100%.
