Used to be groundhogs to shoot galore. Too bad the 204 came along after the groundhogs vanished. Basically it can do about anything the 223 can. Great for coyotes still but you don't get to fire many shots at them like you can with groundhogs. Crows are another good target if you have access to some big fields. Other than these 3 animals, there is not much you can hunt in TN with it or any of the other hot small bores. This is a fact that I find very frustrating because I have several 22 centerfires and even a 17 Remington that just sit in the safe now. Even with 500+ acres of soybeans around, groundhogs aren't available in shootable numbers.
