Top Tips for Hunting with AR-15s

I don’t hunt with my AR’s, but I may someday. Great video.

Wow, turns out the forward assist was for hunters all along.

lesson learned. insert mag and chamber a round before even walking into the woods.

👍👍👍👍👍👍👍

I was unsubscribe

I love the video and information man, but for some damn reason those multiple camera angles are too much for me rofl i dont know why just hate em lol

What I learned about hunting with an AR after doing it for three years was that I didn't like hunting with an AR. It's bulky, rattly and not the easiest thing to stalk with. I took three deer with it (in 450 bushmaster) and switched to a Ruger No 1 in 450 bushmaster, which I greatly prefer. I'm not getting rid of my AR's, just hunting will be with my Ruger.

HAPPY NEW YEAR SIR👍🇺🇸🤓

Don't most states have laws against hunting with semiautomatic weapons?

A little noise go's a long ways on a quiet morning . 🤗

These are “NOT SPORTING ARMS” grow up!

ASMR AR-15 nicely done

We load up at the truck before entering the woods. Also, ambi safeties for the win. I push down with my thumb and let the safety ride my trigger finger knuckle down into fire so it is almost perfectly silent. Works for left or right handers.

Those sportsmans guide coats look dang comfortable

People really overthink the concept of just doing something SLOWLY so it doesn't make noise. "Bro you're so stealthy!" Lol no he simply didn't do ANYTHING in a hurry or with haste.

Slow TF down and you'll be surprised how quiet that AR can be.

Why not use the safety between tour ears? including point in a safe direction and keep your finger away from the trigger. I get going through heavy briars, yes unload the gun. Practice safety folks!!!

Small game is about the only thing i would be using a AR platform for. By the time they would hear any of that….a crack of a bullet would already be down range.
And before you say it. A 5.56 is too small to hunt deer with humanely!!!

I actually used my Stag-15 to kill two Bucks, One was killed by my Grandfather and one by me opening Day of Gun Season… First one was mine shot at 100 or so yards with a Romeo 5. His was shot from 20 yards and both had internal bleeding and there was no blood splatter or trail to both deer but once we found them and opened them up we could see it was all internal. Both were shot with 223 Deer XP by Winchester.

Nice and quiet

In the Corps we called this noise discipline.

I’m not a huge hunter or anything, but I’ve tried my hand at deer hunting several times and the thought never even crossed my mind to leave my vehicle without a round already in the chamber, no matter what weapon I had with me that day. Am I the odd one out here? Still an interesting video topic, regardless.

SHOT PLACEMENT ! Think like an Archer. I've been close enough to poke em in the eye.

Can you demonstrate all these procedures in the field free handed, please?! Maybe with gloves or cold fingers… What a purely academic demo…I mean, please! Keep it real!

Thank you 😊

The loose rd falling thru the magwell on the "quiet unload" will be quite loud. When it's brass and not that dummy rd. This along with the ejector click are prob unavoidable

Mines already loaded with a full mag before I leave the house so after that the only noise I have to worry about is the safety click. If I'm dropping mags that's the last noise I'm worried about since there were just 10-30 very loud booms! 😂

Any AK techniques? Next video maybe?

I set my ar up with a admin load before going in the woods that way it always goes bang

Those damn kangaroos, savage two legged game!

When are they coming out with an ar 12 that’s right the ar 12 like and ar 10 but chambered In that 762x54r Yee Yee can some one do this please 💰💰💰💰

Doing this in the dark and not making yourself known is super rewarding.

But Eric I thought the forward assist is pointless and is a never used feature on an ar/m4 rifle.

6.5 grendel or 6.8 spc ?

This is a serious question since I've never been hunting. Are there certain regulations where you have to carry on an empty chamber? The only action taking place should be flicking off the safety, since there should be a round in the chamber ready to go. If you have a 30 round magazine and still need to perform a mag change you should probably be back at the range learning to shoot before you maim the animal instead of giving it a clean kill or shoot someone else

After taking the time, being extremely careful and successfully achieving the desired silent manipulation of your rifle, sighting in on a magnificent buck, your cell phone that you forgot to mute rings.

The safety selector sounds enough like a squirrel chewing acorns that i might not even worry about That

Be sure you really push the forward assist hard a few times. I made this mistake just over the weekend deer hunting. I pushed the forward assist after trying to chamber quietly. I should have giving the forward assist a little bump with the heel of my hand. Pulled the trigger nothing. Lesson learned. Good information. The sling connection is noisy.

What the heck weren’t you advertising FLP yesterday now uscca today

An excellent point for people who don`t like the foreward assist. Being sneaky.

AR15 yes but 1 AR15 FN, quality guaranteed for life

Here is my tip for tack drivers. Get em right behind the ear.

A weapon of war for hunting? Nah…this weapon is meant for killing and lots of killing quickly.
Just get a shotgun, grab grand dad's double barrel and use that. Just get a shotgun.

Great tip for you Eric, videos are good until you start sending them to me in the early morning hours and that's not right, way to early for me, but thanks anyway

put electrical tape over any metal sling parts so they don't clang against the aluminum of the AR

Good topic. Sling QD swivel noise and the AR slapping against other gear/equipment are also commonly overlooked noise makers.
