To hunt legally you would do so during the defined hunting seasons. The only thing open right now, in most states, is varmint hunting which isn't very popular.

To hunt legally you would do so during the defined hunting seasons. The only thing open right now, in most states, is varmint hunting which isn't very popular. Hunting season for large ungulates, deer/elk/moose, usually starts in late August early Sept and runs through December.
Despite what some media outlets proclaim Pistols and AR's are not generally used for hunting.
- uncoder0 6y agoI don't know. Tons of people in Texas use AR pattern rifles with large cartridges to hunt boar. You're going to want Semi-Auto if you miss or if you get charged, those hogs are mean.
- DamnYuppie 6y agoTexas is its own animal when it comes to hunting. There is little to no public land, so everything is private, and 99% of all hunting is done from a blind or a stand where they "hunt" over bait piles. I am not judging, I have lived and hunted there, I am just sharing how it is different than many people conceptualize of hunting. As for using an AR on hogs that is true. That is technically varmint hunting where there is no limit on the number of animals taken and the goal is to mow down as many as possible.
- uncoder0 6y agoYeah, I've gone with a buddy. We don't do the bait stuff because it's pest control they're everywhere. 3AM with FLIRs and a spotlight hunting hogs on one of his random neighbors ranches. Gotta keep the pests under control.
- slowhand09 6y agoIn bear country where many hunt, the pistol is for protection. I know many hunters that use AR pattern rifles to hunt.
