I’m sure it’s been brought up before but since my rifle will be at a smiths for around 2 months I might have to hunt with my 5.56. I know many a deer have been taken with a AR but it’ll be my first time hunting with it. What are your thoughts?

When my son was 6-8 years old he killed a pile of deer with a .223 single shot. All but one dropped in their tracks. I had him shoot them at the base of the neck. With a 55gr or 62gr soft tip bullet, it's deadly. The one deer that didn't drop in its tracks was hit in the lungs. It ran 50 yards before piling up.

I actually neck shot a big *** free range axis buck because he wouldn't turn broadside for me. It was windy and I was worried he was gonna run off. That one was with a .280 150gr Nosler partition though lol. Hit him like a freight train and he dropped out of the scope so fast I thought I missed him haha.
