It's not as hard as it might seem. They are usually within 30-50 feet.. with iron sights that's a perfect distance. I'm a pretty steady shot and the bird is usually trying to stay still because it thinks I can't see it. Sometimes I miss, and they don't even move. Other times I miss and they fly away somewhere not too far and I get a second shot. I never shoot a flying bird.

Hence the iron sight recommendation! 30-50 feet is great with iron sights.

Love hunting,been out quite a bit looking for one of these,I didnt get lucky enough to draw a tag,however my friend did.You score a tag for one of these and its like winning the lottery up here in Montana, since they only draw 25 tags.Beautiful animals,you can sneak up on them within 50 yards in the right situation,they hang out in some rugged terrain.We havent found big Louis yet,still searching!

Yep, I think I might try a scope though. I want to see if I can find one with top degradation marks, kind of like this: I would just have to find which mark does what distance. Should be a fun day at the range :cop:

Wow! That's quite the game man! That's a little too big for me though. Dragging that thing back to the road and prepping it would be a 3-5 guy job.

the thing with the scope is, it sits 1-1/2" or so above the barrel. 25' is a pretty good angle between the barrel and your line of sight. you will be more than a 1/2" high or low at almost any other distance.

Yes its definetly gonna be alot of work,but 3 of us usually always go.Also if your gonna look at scopes,check these Redfields out,I have 2 of them,really impressed with these,have a set of binoculars as well.Fairly inexpensive but the prices keep going up! http://redfield.com/riflescopes/

Yeah I was thinking about that. I'll try both and see what I like :idk:

They gave me 2 DMPs for my WMU this year. I'm pretty stoked to be able to have more opportunity for hunting.

[DEADBYDAWN]

I personally hunt for the meat.

:lol:

Archery season comes in tomorrow and I will sitting 25ft in a tree at daylight. I LIVE to hunt. I usually kill around 6 deer per year, most of them with my bow, to fill my freezer. We didnt buy beef at all last year. Lots and lots of venison for dinner in my house :love:

Birds are usually shot with shotguns. Not likely you will kill one with a rifle when flying, and they will be flying.

.243 can be used to shoot deer.

I hunted deer with a smooth bore 12 gauge for several years, and felt comfortable shooting out to 50-70 yards. That gun was also used to shoot pheasant.

Why don't you want a shotgun?

Hunting season has started up here, I'm going to start planning a few weekends to go out and get me some grouse/partrige. I'm thinking about getting a nice 22 rifle, I'm all about an accurate headshot, and I've been very successful with that caliber. However, I do also want to have a bit more firepower to at least be albe to hunt a bit of a larger game. So now I'm looking at probably getting a 243.. Yes the caliber is overkill for small bird, but I always do headshots so I shouldn't have any waste right? Then at least I can go deer hunting or varmint etc.. Not sure yet, just can't afford two rifles, and I am NOT interested in a shotgun.

:idk:

:lol:

And I dont' care about bucks...or hanging heads. Just meat. tight, fresh, tasty meat.

Fucker is heavy as shit, huh? Pics plox! Who built the upper? Price?

It's obscenely heavy for an AR. It's a Doublestar Upper. The quality for $$ ratio is unreal. Not counting optics, I have about $800 in this build. I got a great deal on it. I'm gonna have about 1500-1600 in it once I get the optics, mount, and bipod on there.

[primeholy]

I dont hunt. If I did, I dont think I would choose to hunt in HCAF though.

That'll be a sick hog/deer gun. Get your form 4 and that barrel cut for a suppressor...:thu:

Fuck that would be awesome...I have 2 other uppers and more parts coming in on monday, so my bank account needs to take a break for a while haha.

Hunting is for douche bags that like to kill animals for entertainment. It's primitive, unnecessary, it's taking advantage of another species lack of intelligence and weakness, creating more suffering and pain for nothing other then to get sick jollies.

I knew this was coming.. PETA dude is mad..

[Sillypeoples]

It's not a PETA thing...even stone cold hunters see city folk trophy hunters as jokes, that neither have the skills nor the justification to come in and wipe out the local food supply for entertainment. If the plane goes down and your starving fine...but to kill for fun is flat out for pussies...I know, I've been a range master for better then 6 years at the local gun club...few got my respect because few were nothing more then guys who took pot shots at anything that moved...

If you can kill an animal for fun, then it's fair game that a guy can come up and kick your ass for fun. Same rationale, the only difference is what the regulations on the books say, and in some parts of the world it's fair game on each other...so how many 'hunters' would make it there? About zero, because in the end, they will only take down what is easy and what doesn't shoot back.
