Anyone that says that you don’t need 5 shots or whatever to take down their game really know nothing about hunting. I am a hunter. I have fired mtiple shots at a deer and I can tell you with all honesty I am a good shot. People that don’t hunt might think that a animal walks up and you drop it with one shot, but some times the animal is running and so it might be harder to hit. But other times if an animal is charging you like a moose and they do charge I have met Simone who killed a moose charging him it will take 5 shots at least to take it down

soon hunting stories will be, Got me one of those drones I can control from my living room on a keyboard, Installed a winch and a huge vacum cleaner with a flexible hose on it. the unit has 4 AR 15 assualt rifles mounted on the four corners, I just send the drone out to locate a moose or elk shoot it and then hoist the carcass up and drop it off at the butcher shop, and the hide and head at the taxidermists, and within 2 days have the steaks on the barbi and the hide and head on my walls in the studio, if too many bullets are released we vacum up the pieces of loose meat before the flies get the meat, sure beats trecking through the forest and dealing with blackflies and mosquitoe’s and we are the first ones on site because most hunters cannot afford the good stuff for hunting, and if we get hunters too close to our animal we fire 100 shots and they soon leave

Just because your magazine can hold 20 doesn’t mean you have to put 20 in it. In Minnesota we can carry a handgun as well while we hunt. Magazine capacity is not the issue, how a gun looks is not the issue,some hunters have always used the most modern equipment available. All the returning veterans have used what they carried while in the service. Also the 2nd Amendment has nothing to do with hunting

The Founding Fathers of this country did not pass the Second Amendment simply to protect an individual’s ability to hunt and take game. Remember that point, always. When you think about the need, or even the usefullness, of semi-autos loaded with 10, 20, or 30 round clips, think about the fundamental reason why the Second Amendment was passed. Don’t limit yourself to the issue of hunting. I’ll agree, we don’t need them today or tomorrow to protect our liberty, but who knows what the world will be like in a distant future. People that argue we no longer need firearms to protect our liberty are direct descendants of those that once argued we didn’t need to be so radical and declare independence from the British.

@ ben: Sir, just because someone hunts with a rifle capable of containing more than 5 rounds, doesn’t at all mean that they are using more, or even that many. If I was hunting with anyone that needed to blaze away five times to hit their target, i’d take that rifle away from them and test either their aim or their scope’s zero. Your assumptions and bigotry are, however, noted… and dismissed.

Next?

All this talk of marksmanship, bringing down game, and a 5-round limit is quite amusing. The ones in the woods with the firearms aren’t the only hunters. How many rounds would you feel comfortable with when a charging grizzly suddenly appeared at 30 feet? Or a pack of wolves coming for you?

Hog Hunting is Best with an Assault Weapon..

A friend of mine took a 500lb cow elk using his 6.8SPC AR-15 a few years ago.
He didn’t need or use a standard capacity magazine for the task; he used a low capacity 5rd. one, thus proving the versatility of his so-called “assault weapon”.
He has a .223 upper for it too & uses that combined with low capacity 20rd. magazines for ‘yote hunting.
Should he ever need the amount of ammunition carried in a standard 25 or 30rd. magazine, he can switch to it in a moment.

A) Agreed that more than one or two shots for big game should be all that is necessary, varmint hunting (i.e. prarie rats) multiple shots are the norm. With that said, most state laws that allow Semi auto rifles to hunt big game also have magazine capacity restrictions(similar to shotgun limits for bird hunting)
However:
With the ever increasing possibility of inadvertantly wandering into a marijuana plantation, meth lab, or illegal alien transportation holding area, semiauto with more than 5 rounds may be needed for personal selfdefense.
Which the nutcase liberals do not want us to do.
2) the term “Assault rifle” did not exist until Adolf Hitler named tha Wermact STG44. Therefore the term “assault rifle” is NAZI termonology and has no place being used in this country, although liberals sure use that stuff alot.

“Ben” apparently has never set up on a coyote stand and called in (7) or (9) coyotes at one time as I have!! LOL Thats where my bolt .308 just doesn’t cut it, and my AR with a 30 round mag is lead spitting perfection!! Quit arguing over weps and just hunt !! “patsy”

Henery:
Ben is right on the mark about marksmanship skills if you can’t bring down you game with less than 5 shots. If there are multiple animals, as you insinuate, they are not going to stand around long enough to fire more than 5 accurate shots without being out of range, or sight, anyway

So I am a bad hunter because my lever action 22 holds 20+ shorts rounds, F@#@ that…

Ben; that is just an ignorant statement and shows you complete lack of understanding of hunting in general. There are so many reasons why you would want to hold multiple shots, like the plain convenience of not having to reload, and it has nothing to do with marksman skill. A few quick example of hunting that needs multiple shots include, hogs, prairie dogs, rabbit, wolf, bear and coyote hunting.

If you are hunting with an “assault rifle,” or a weapon that holds more than 5 rounds then you’re pretty much an idiot anyway. If you need more than 5 shots to bring down your game then you have no business hunting; you should be at the target range perfecting your aim.
