I’m a bird hunter not a deer hunter, but I have to ask:

What is “unethical” about spraying your dinner with bullets to be sure of a good, solid, quick, and merciful kill?

It’s what I do with bird shot. Every time.

This dude is really arguing that a chance at wounding the poor thing si morally superior?

An AR15 is a tool just like a Rem 700...different tools for different jobs.

Hunting hogs with an Ar15 is very effective...the quick follow up shots are really useful.

I am not certain but I would imagine the difference is that most anywhere you hit a bird is going to kill it or drop it. Most of the places you hit a deer will let it run away to slowly die in the bushes.

If you know you only have one (or 3) chance to shoot the deer, you are going to take your time and make sure it is a kill shot. If you know you have 11 chances to "spray" the deer you will be a little more free with the trigger which will result in more wounded deer.
