I read your post and all of those on this thread. What exactly was the purpose of your post? Was it to take a slap at those who see the AR platform as a viable hunting rifle? I really don't think you are in search of answers, you just wanted to troll a bit.

No one has to explain their reasoning for using any method of taking a deer as long as it's legal. To single out hunters who use "black rifles" seems a little anti to me.

Pretty sure your last sentence was condescending, no?

I have 3 AR's but rarely shoot them. Normally I take my bolt actions. I think AR's are a fad and at my age I have see a lot of fads come and go. Probably something will come in the future a little different and then that will be the new thing, maybe ray guns. But then, showing my age, I rarely am on social media and don't have an I phone or I pad. I still would rather call someone than text them. Guess I am a dying breed.

The purpose of the post was to find an explanation for using high capacity magazines to deer hunt. After reading thru all the posts, I do not see a single good explanation for their use.

Just because a magazine is "high capacity" does not mean it is full. I don't use an AR for deer hunting but I do for pig hunting. The only AR magazines I have are 30 rounds... but I only ever load 5 or so. Why? Because I don't need more than 5 shots. Why not have a smaller magazine? Because I'm cheap and my 30 round magazine is, in actuality, also a 5 round magazine. Do you feel better about it now?

And check this out. In my "deer" rifle, a lever action with 4 round removable magazine, I only load 2 rounds. So relatively speaking is the 4 round magazine high capacity because that's twice as much as need?! Should I not be using this rifle due to its high capacity magazine? Or is it acceptable to you since it has a wood stock?

Also, see my previous response...



Finally...


...nobody owes, what is in your eyes, a good explanation but there are various acceptable responses. The most important being essentially to each their own - don't be concerned with it. No trying to be a jerk but this thread is ridiculous at this point. Get the message and move on. Maybe start a high-fence/low-fence thread. Those are always fun too.

Because they are the most prevalent.

Also for enounters with hogs. We shoot hogs til they go down, & then shoot them a few more times, mostly for [censored].

I'm sure 100 years ago some dufus was on the internet complaining about smokeless powder.

Before that, percussion-haters were saying "muh flintlock is good enough".

There is no explanation or answer Ford or Chevy?

You either didn’t look or just chose not to acknowledge the answers given. There were plenty. More importantly, it doesn’t matter.

He should probably write his senator and lobby for the oulaw of any black gun used for deer hunting.

I could live with that.

I've seen some of these folks shoot, they need all the help they can get. If you shoot a deer from a blind at 100 yards and then tell us about it went 50 yards it's time to go back to the bench!.......... More firepower is not going to help!

Ain't communism great!

Yea I have no problem hunting with a Ruger #1 or or a Winchester Hi-wall, how you could call my preference communism is beyond me.

I think the wording "everyone should be issued the same" _____ pretty much says it all. But hey.

I simply agreed with the single shot you assumed the rest. I even proposed that some of the members on this forum would benefit from the use of higher capacity rifles.

Yes when you say I could agree with that... Well it's not an assumption it's what you said. Obviously my original comment was bait you just bit.

Well I guess you win! Can I still have my Ruger number 1's or Winchester Hi-Walls or do you now consider single shot's a communist agenda?. By the way myself and millions of others been issued the same weapons before so I guess that makes all of us communists. Next I want to be issued a 1911 in in 9x25, I've been a good little comrade so maybe I'll get lucky. Since you don't know me I'll let it slide but I can assure you the many here that do would probably put a Dunce cap on you and make you sit in a corner. Not only do I think everybody should be issued the same single shot rifle, I think they should all be issued a Browning Hi-Power and a GMC 4x4 "preferably with the 6.2. Give me a little time and I'm sure I can find a few more things every American should be issued. While you may like eating your own bail just let me tell ya Catfish Charlie is tough on ones breath but anybody who would eat a duck probably already knows that.

Again it was bait. You bit. Obviously I do not think you're communist it was tongue in cheek. But The idea that and I quote "everyone should be issued the same" is obviously a socialist/ communist idea. You know everyone is equal blah blah. I do not even own an ar but you old hands beating up on guys that shoot them is pretty tall. My momma raised me if it doesn't effect me mind my own business. Guess less of that going on.

I have two AR's and several semi auto pistols. Again it seems humor and sarcasm are lost on some people, then again your a duck hunter so I should expect no less.

I still can't see why curmudgeonly and close minded bolt gun hunters load more than one in their magazines. After all, having a bolt gun means you are a really good shot and all, right?



Poor bunny...


Did those deer stand around while the bolt gun hunters just missed??

You win I'm a big dumb duck hunter you're a wise old man.

Does it make you feel better i deer hunt with a 20 rounder sometimes. I used to use a 10 round mag but when a nice sounder of hogs came out, first suppressed shot made them run stright down the sendero towards my stand, a quick 10 shots Later, had 6 hogs on the ground and out of ammo. I could of put a couple more bullets in them if i would of had the capacity. Now i do.

1. That's what came with the gun.
2. In case you need a high rate of fire for predators, pigs, zombies that come in.
3. Good place to store ammo and it's always with the gun.
4. Cuz 'Merica, hell yeah.

Now get back under your bridge.
