I'm sure they're lethal with a perfect shot and all that, but life isn't perfect. Plus there's the issue of tracking a wounded deer onto the adjacent property. An AR is GREAT for predators. I ended up selling mine just because it was a pain to hunt with compared to a bolt action. They don't seem to balance well with a hunting scope. That's a personal preference though.
What ammo did you provide with the gun?jetwrnch":zzy01kc8 said:I sometimes have guest hunt some family land with me. Twice someone shot a deer with an AR and neither deer was recovered.

There are two ways I've found.TAFKAP":24s47k3o said:4) It feels like I'm waking up the woods when I chamber a round. There's just no quiet way of doing it.
rtaylor":ic80lwgm said:I am on my 6th year hunting with an AR and with the .223 round. Haven't lost a deer yet. My 8 year old daughter just shot her first deer with it at 136 yards. The only cons I can think of is replacing the factory trigger with something better but I love deer hunting with the AR and so do my kids.

Also
The wife will be trying the 7.62x39.
I have all the conferences in the world in them. 3 years ago I dropped a good size deer with 223 with no issues. Nothing left of the insides of deer it was a mess. I used the Hog round in my 223.
I hit it behind the shoulder but that bullet just bounces inside.
The bigger Caliber bullets for me anyway are the way to go.
I just hope they don't come out with one in the 30/06.
Please don't tell me if they have one lol

I didn't provide the rifle or the ammo. Don't know what they showed up with other than hollow point. I do know it was .223.infoman jr.":2wkhaqhb said:What ammo did you provide with the gun?jetwrnch":2wkhaqhb said:I sometimes have guest hunt some family land with me.
