My cousin told me last night that somebody was hunting D16 with a automatic gun and my cousin said he kicked up a deer and emptied his magazine on the deer. My cousin said he missed. Did anybody hear about it or actually hear it happen?

Specifically if the deer is running through the brush where other hunters could be. 25-30 rounds is absolutely ridiculous and no way acceptable for a hunter. If I hear anyone shooting like that I'll be waiting at their truck.

I hunt almost exclusively with an AR15 these days. But that doesn't mean it's automatic. It's very common to hunt with an AR15 these days. Just a semi auto rifle like any other semi auto out there.

I heard the 25-30 rounds in less than a 2 minute period in the area I was hunting. Were they blindly into brush?...I hope not, I hope it wasn't a hunter at all. I'd rather it be someone target shooting in CNF, at least that, hopefully, would be safer than someone blasting away at a running animal.IronworksTactical said:Moe Terboat said:Just reading this is terrifying to me.

I agree but where did we get up to 25-30 rounds? Granted any rounds blindly into brush is bad. Does anyone have any factual info on this or is it all hearsay?

Also hunted with AR for a while now for coyote and pig Scott. the reason i posted it is to let others that it can be done with an AR or AR platform .Although not my choice of caliber, rounds, and count (another discustion) he claim it took one shot.
