We've Become an AR Bunch

I can understand the trend toward hunting with AR-style rifles for predators given the leaps forward in accuracy and the number of new choices for this type of weapon.

But 77 percent of you use them as your primary predator gun? Shocking. Of course, my poll is a small sample size, but still, I’d have bet my open-reed cottontail tube that bolt-action rifles would win this particular vote. Bolt guns received 15 percent of the vote, and shotguns tallied 8 percent.

Single-shot rifles did not register a single vote. As an aside, I killed a Missouri coyote with a T/C .223 a couple winters ago. Nice rifle. The footage from that hunt was captured for Drury’s Predator Madness 3. First time I dropped a coyote on film.

Anyway, thanks for your votes and continued interest in this site. Soon, our season will be on and I’ll be out there screamin’.
