Does anyone hunt deer with a assualt rifle?

[runamuk]

But to answer the OP's question, absolutely use one if you want. An AR-10 or an M1A would work great. And call it an assault rifle too because watching people get butt hurt over nothing is funny.

no one is butthurt that I saw but not learning to use language to our advantage will be our downfall.

its all good and when you get one and find it extremely enjoyable and the gov bans you from owning it making it illegal because it looks like__________ <insert scary name here> well...just ask the bear baiters and houndsmen how it feels

good luck finding something you will enjoy there are lots of options and many are deer legal, most are fun and some are so crazy accurate its almost boring shooting in close .... try and shoot one before deciding for sure as has been mentioned they are heavy and dont sling up like a more standard sporter rifle.

LOL LOL welcome to Hunt-WA.  If you stick around you will learn much about hunting and even more about human behavior.  Both are a interesting study on this website.

Judging from the fact that the original post is this guy's only post, I would say this is a troll.

Or more likely he wants nothing to do with this forum based on the ridiculous comments, replies, and turns this thread took on such a simple inquiry and topic.

I doubt it. He would have objected to those comments. Not a single second post in 74 comments? No one who knows anything about guns calls them assault rifles, especially right now.

Not exactly correct there P-man. I think there were several people here on this thread that referred to them as "assault rifles".

You're correct. It's usually a tip-off for me that someone doesn't know what they're talking about with regards to firearms. But, they certainly have been referred to that way.

No problem from me and you're not an idiot. I'm sure at sometime in the past I've referred to them the same way - it's just been a long time since. Thanks for posting again. MSR is a good one, too - Modern Sporting Rifle. Have a good day.

like runamuk was saying they dont sling up very well, so when you find one get a safari sling, you will love it, thats how i carried my M203 AND THE M-60 when i was in the service, of course we had to make are own, i finally found one that fits my ruger #1 makes it awesome for glassing as well

MSR is one name. Sports Utility Rifle is another.

This is a rough time of year for a hunting forum. People will lighten up when some dead animals start hitting the ground.

Where is the word police with all the people on here referring to mags as clips?  Clips are used on a M1 Garand.

[pianoman9701]

You do like to keep it stirred up, DS!

I still don't see the problem...so the argument is that by saying we use these scary rifles for hunting and other activities than combat related activies is bad? Wouldn't it be the opposite? I thought the argument from the anti gun side was that these rifles are only used for drive bys and shooting up places and people. What if we said "no my ASSAULT rifle I use for hunting". Kinda defeats their argument doesn't it?

And about the sling...just do an internet search there are hundreds of them available and something should suit your needs.

Sometimes however I have mellowed over the time I have been on here learing how easy it is to fail in communicating the tone and intent of the post.  But yes a little stir is in my blood.
