“Nobody hunts with an AR15. It’s just wrong, it’s like hunting with a poodle”
Yet, here we are filling the freezer.

MHO a 5.56 is a tad on the light side for deer, but bullet placement is critical no matter what you shoot, an AR10 7.62 would be a better choice. And as far as the poodle thing, the kid has 3 standard poodles that would drag down an elk if she told them too,, so yeah over all ya done good ! :)

The little dog only weighs ten pounds, but she has the heart of a lion.

Awesome, 556 62g it is!
While I would not hesitate to shoot a deer with a 5.56/.223, I’m using a 450 BushMaster Great Lakes upper on a Springfield Armory Saint Edge lower. The trigger is unbelievably crisp.

I have tagged two does this year and hoping for a third tonight or tomorrow.

The 3PH carryall on the Kubota is much better for bringing home the harvest, but it was dark and cold. She slid along the snow just fine.
