| Yes it's a great Caliber, excellent choice for Small to Medium game animals. Good Luck

| 17 hmr
Foxes yes. Coyotes no. Bullet breaks up on the ribs. Causes a nasty shallow wound. Read a field report when the cartridge was first introduced. .22 caliber centerfire for the coyotes. .22 mag HP's for the fox's medicine.

its very unsafe to be shooting into the water

| I agree with Joel, shooting into water is not a cool idea at all. BUT to answer the original question YES the .17HMR is an ideal choice for foxes and coyotes. I posted some info months ago about the .17 Caliber here is the link to that posting .17 M2 & .17 HMR <-Click
