I have this awesome track of white oaks that deer just flock to,and while I have never killed a deer with an open sighted AR15,,would it be unethical to use an AR with open sights just to say you done it??

LOL,,

Only on days with a B in them.

So only on the Sabath, since it would be sacriligous to use that gun with open sights.

Why use old school outdated equipment when you have scopes and .458 H&H magnums that will kill a deer faster than napalm.


Last I checked the Tn legislature passed a new law that said hunting with a .223 was illegal cuz that round is a man killer not a deer killer.

Same reason some use a recurve bow rather than a compound bow...because they want to!

As for a 223 caliber being illegal I have not heard where that had been changed . Last I heard any centerfire caliber was made legal a couple years or so back but could be wrong.

As for me go for it. There are some states that do not allow scopes on certain weapons so give it a shot!

Not being a gun enthusiast, I have no idea what an AR15 is, but I know what "open sights" means....lol.

I have a MZ with open sights and have had great success with it....

I thought baiting was illegal on tndeer.....lol.????

I think as long as there is very high probability of making a clean kill, then it doesn't matter much what the weapon or what the sights.

AR15

ditto

LMAO, you think this one will make it 10 pages?? Ill bet a dollar ol BH will tell you to get a scope cause its just better and he thinks you need one! lol

Actually, scopes get knocked off, open sights rarely do, so open sights are better....AT SHORT DISTANCES...lol.

After seeing the picture of the gun and who I assume is Mr. Big and a dallas cowboy fan, I must ask the question WHY!!!!????? Why would you need a gun like that to kill a deer and why would anyone be a cowboy fan....lol.

I remember those big machine guns that come with tripod stands that the military used, why not get one of those and set it up at 500 yards and launch a barrage of bullets at the deer....surely your odds of a kill will increase with your volume of lead....lol

Not sure how the meat will turn out though...Might be pre-tenderized.....lol.

you guys are funny....

What difference does it make how a gun looks?If it sends out a "deer hunting" size projectile,whats the difference?

I googled it,its a 5.56 mm.Im not a "caliber guru",but if memory serves me right,a 6.92mm is about equivalent to a .308.So a 5.56mm is about equivilant too a .......?Not sure,but not an overkill round.

No difference, it just reminds me of a military weapon, not a hunting weapon.

BH,,what is the perception of this rifle Remington R15,,made by Bushmaster,,it is the exact same weapon,fires the exact same ammo,,and uses the exact same 20 and 30 round magazines,,it is just a different color????

5.56 is same as .223. hardly overkill for a deer. 7.62 = .308

So, the camo pattern makes a difference? Don't most military weapons these days come in camo patterns? Sounds logical to me.

A 20-30 round clip seems better suited for a target range but that's just my opinion.

My perceptions are obviously different from yours.

Thanks

Okay...this is way out of control IMO..

If you don't agree on weapons choice then that's good...Some people don't think bow hunting is ethical..It comes down to choice...right. As long as it is legal who cares what you choose to hunt with. I don't care if you use a spear...But I do care when you make a statement against my Second Amendment Rights regardless of weapons choice. Just because you don't like a military style weapon it does not make it illegal. I don't use a military style weapon...but who am I to tell someone they can't. Statements or comments like these is what has caused us to lose rights...And yes, I'm using my Freedom of Speech Right...

If this is referring to me, then please go back and point out where I posted anything about being illegal, or even where I said that no one should be allowed to hunt with this type of weapon.......or did someone simply "perceive" that was what I meant.

Just because I wouldn't buy such a weapon does not mean that you can not....

And......The part about the machine gun was simply a joke, since this weapon LOOKS like an automatic weapon that I only see in war movies.

Do I not have the right to my opinion?

let's all take a deep breath..........


thanks

you know, them bolt action rifles look a lot like the military weapons of WWI&II.

And the Mzl's look a lot like the military weapons of the Revolution,or used to
