Anyone here hunt deer with an AR style of rifle?

Nice Benelli.

AR pistol question, in order to fit the classification of pistol per the ATF and be legal for use in MN shotgun zones doesn't the OAL from muzzle to buffer tube have to remain below 26"? I was debating how to configure a new 6.8 pistol and wanted to go 12.5" but the weird gray "firearm" classification above 26"'OAL is giving me pause...10.5 is probably safer?

I traded the Benelli R1 for a different rifle. Looks like it's a buck only hunting zone in the area I plan on hunting. Last year by buddies youngest grandson (13 at the time) got his first dear, a 4 pointer just a half a mile from the cabin. Pretty sure I'm going to use the Howa 1500 bolt gun in 308WIN for my first hunt. I need to get it sighted in still.

Took a nice buck with my 450 Bushmaster a couple years back.
It would be my go to for any big game hunting, very accurate, and really does the trick.
