I know a 62 grain trophy bonded tip would do great on a deer.

Most people wouldn't be able to make a quality shot to put the animal down in a sensible  and sportsman like way . I think it should stay at caliber rating we have now , plus let's be real some yahoo would empty his/her 20 round clip . I just see no good in it in my opinion  :twocents: :twocents: :bdid:

you shouldn't be allowed to use an AR type rifle to deer hunt. they aren't powerful enough to ethically kill a deer.

One thing I do worried about is people using the wrong bullets for the job. I wonder if this is a issue in the rest of the country. But I do know if it was legal I would use the right bullet and have a quick kill.

 What difference does the rifle style make? :chuckle:

Last thing we need to do is give our WDFW or our government another reason to waste time and spend money on useless nonsense.
