ARs are fun to shoot, .223 will kill deer just fine with the right bullet at reasonable range. 300 BO is ok, 6.5 Grendel a better choice IMO if you don't want to suppress. I prefer the ergonomics of bolt guns for hunting but that's just me. I had other evil guns before the boating accident so never had much use for an AR, no reason not to get one if you want one though.

IF I decide to take a gun out to shoot deer/hogs or that size animal, my go to is a (WAS A) 6.8 SPC AR15 that is a sub-MOA rifle that shoots a 120 grain .270 caliber bullet and it is also the gun I am teaching my grandsons (8 and 10 years old) to shoot with. The adjustable stock makes it easy to fit the rifle to them. My oldest has taken 3 deer and a javelina with it... light recoil, and deadly caliber for any animal in Texas... Took one axis with it and it was DRT with a high shoulder shot at 155 yards.
There is good reason the AR15 is the #1 sporting rifle in this country. They can be used for any kind of rifle shooting by any size person, and even yet today they are one of the cheapest guns by comparison to shoot. If all my bolt guns hadn't been lost in the tragic accident, I'd have might as well sold them, because I don't use them any longer... My two go to's AR-15's and AR10 will cover anything I want to shoot.

I have one.
In .223. Dont know why. Just cause everyone else has one (or several). Imho anything less than a .25-06 is too small for deer. I figured it'd be good for yotes (although I have a .243, .22-250, and .222 for yotes - and rarely hunt them).
Wish I'd gotten an AR in 7.62x39 or 300BO. .223 definitely ain't my "go to" for hogs. And bout the only gun hunting I might do is for hogs. The semi-auto would be perty handy for a sounder in open country.
