welcome back BOBO.

I ain’t got the time nor the energy today.

Just keep re-reading my post above in response to whatever rabbit trail trolling posts you make.

I’m sure you’ll convince us all we do, in fact, need an AR with a 30 round magazine for deer hunting.

Like I said stop worrying about what tool/weapon people have in thier pics.

Sure people don't need a black rifle and thirty round mag to hunt deer. They don't need a feeder, trail cams, blinds, binos, scopes, camo, nice rifles, cheap rifles, and the list goes on.

All that's really "needed" is a traditional recurve, black powder rifle or maybe a break open single shot rifle at most. People use what they want to use. As long as they are following the law and being safe we should all be happy

And no I didn't kill a single deer with an AR this season, but I have killed hundreds of animals with one.

I didn’t “mock” anyone. I ain’t “worried” about anything. I simply said there are proper tools for whatever job is at hand. I get I can’t have a point though - even if that means building a strawman of things I don’t say just so you can knock it down and/or making silly statements like there is no such concept as the proper tool for a job.

Discussing proper rifle choices for given hunts is no different than discussing proper gear choices for different hunts. Only the uber-sensitive get all butthurt about it.

Like clock work.... que up the victim response... time to bring in the wanbulance.

FYI post 7041627. Where I quoted myself.... doesn’t mention you nor does it quote you. Simply says to each everyone’s own in the weapon they choose.

Talk about real straw men responses... and the circle continues


Wrong tool for the job.... interesting so now you are be all end all the tool expert I guess. I wouldn’t tell this guy it’s wrong tool. He was very happy with the achievement with his purpose built tool, that he was very hands on in building it. So much for to each their own..... but you atleast could compliment him on not using a 30 rd mag...since you have such a affixation with them....

This thread was never about the magazine's capacity but I'll say a MLD employee who needs to cull thirty doe with headshots. I'll add a Dexter type recovery team behind him for those about to ask about spoilage.

IMO, it is more about caliber and shooting skills then the color or style of firearm. What is practical for one, may not be for another.

I don't consider my AR a hunting rifle. I have it should I ever need a gun with lots of bullets to protect house and home in a changing and uncertain world. It might be a futile attempt, but I feel an obligation to make some type of preparation.

1. That's what came with the gun.

3. Good place to store ammo and it's always with the gun.
4. Cuz 'Merica, hell yeah.

Now get back under your bridge.


But the main reason is..

[s][/s]Hunting with a 30'rd mag offers more weight and more gun to get in your way so it doesnt make sense. "Why" is a good question. I keep my lucky number of 8 rounds in 10 rd mag. The most I have ever shot at a sounder of pigs was 6. and yes I do consider my AR an incredibly effective hunting weapon especially when stalking or hunting thick cover. I would feel at a huge disadvantage with a 3x9 scope and bolt action gun while hunting in dense woods

Not substantial but more unnecessary weight.the extra few inches it adds is not substantial but it is more. Less weight and size is better. Isnt it?
