Who is hunting with thier AR?

I will be getting an AR15 soon and was going to hunt with it some this year. Just curious who hunts with theirs...what are you hunting?

When I lived in New Mexico I hunted Predators with my AR. Wasn't allowed to hunt anything else with them though as New Mexico requires at least a .24 caliber bullet for all other game.


Since moving to Georgia I haven't hunted anything. Haven't quite figured out GA's hunting regs yet. To use to half the state being public land.
 
I have heard several people say that .223 is not big enough to hunt deer with....what do you guys think? As someone who has been hunting with longbows and stone points for the last six years I have heard those same remarks but it hasn't stopped me yet but I want to get a consensus.
 
With proper bullet selection, and proper shot placement you should be just fine. If it takes you 4 shots to kill a deer with a tirty tirty, then it probably isn't for you.

Deer out here are what...90lbs on the hoof? 5.56 should drop one of them little guys no problem.
