[QUOTE="Iwant1, post: 899848, member: 2905"] I recently posted a thread in the "Rifle Discussion" about using AR's to hunt. I was pleased with the response. I have another question that may not be as popular. I've always hunted and plinked with the .223. I've shot everything from plate steel(blasted holes thru 1/4"), to locks, to 4" tree trunks (cut them down with one shot). In deer hunting, it takes so much abuse for it small size. I've never heard someone recommend a .223 for deer hunting. For some reason it's ok for humans up to 225lbs...but not animals. I've made body shots behind the shoulder and heart shots and have dropped dear. However, now I've found that for fun and one shot drop, that I shoot deer right below the jaw in the neck. Get's em' everytime, they drop like a head shot. (I shoot hogs the same way) I get the same looks about this as I do when I tell them that I'm hunting with an AR. Please dont' try and prove that a bigger caliber would drop deer because they run after being shot, just watch some deer hunting videos. Why is this kind of shot wrong? [/QUOTE]
