I put down two last season with ARs. One with a 14.5" Bushmaster. The other with a 16" Stag. My brother has put down a couple with his AK. It was definitely convenient to be able to quickly reload 30 rounds when the deer kept running back and forth  .

| I dropped two deer with my Mini years ago (55 grain softpoint) 1 shot kills right in the lungs-heart at under 50 yards. What really inmpressed me was how lethal the .223 is! It scrambled up their innards real good! Exit wounds about the size of a quarter. I'd use my AR anytime, but prefer to hunt with a .243 Model 7... |
I've been wanting to do the same with my Barrett. A fellow Arfcommer (who also owns a Barrett) knows someone with deprevation permits, and it'd be great to try 'em out.

I use my DPMS Bull 20 for deer in the orchard cause the ranges are never more than about 140 yds(head shots). These are on nuisance permits. Use it all the time on 'yotes cause of the fast follow-up if I get a chance at a 2-fer. Don't use it much in the corn fields. Switch to a DPMS .308. |
I'll be taking mine to montana this year also.
