Who is hunting with ARs and have you got any of the NM Exotics.
A side hobby of ours is now ARHunters (FB & YT) by the same name. So far my Niece has got 2x Nanny Ibex with her 6.5Grendel and my Brother has got a Oryx and a Barbary Sheep with a .338Federal in a AR10.
Here is a Oryx with a AR10 Chambered in .338Federal taken during the 2016 Season on Public Lands DIY style, Off range. YouTube by the same of this hunt and a few others we have been working on.
LAST EDITED ON May-29-17 AT 08:59PM (MST)[p]Since these little rodents come from South America they probably count as exotics right?
They are fun to hunt if ya can find em...
Another hunt using the 6.5Grendel and it dumped him solid right in his tracks. The teaser video of this one is on Facebook while the full length Father / Daughter hunt is being edited and is waiting to be completed and posted.

Not an easy hunt by any means.
A Father / Daughter hunt ... finally they both drew hunts in the same unit at the same time!
Hers was larger too!
He was shooting an AR15 Chambered in 7.62x39 and she was shooting her favorite caliber - the 6.5Grendel.
That 6.5Grendel in her capable hands is starting to get a sizable resume built up...
She has taken 3x Elk with it (one a 6x6), 2x Nanny Ibex, 1x Javelina, and her Dad borrowed it to dump a Whitetail in TX during Thanksgiving too.
One of the harder hunts around... She didn't get her Billy when she was 13... BUT she has bagged 2x Nanny Ibex at 14yrs old and 15yrs old!
This was her second Population Reduction Draw Tag and her 2017 Results. They where thrilled after her Billy hunt was a full brutal week and nothing hunting. Her first Nanny was tagged out by 9am. The 2017 season was even better!
Not only did she get it with her longest shot ever (438yds) shooting her 6.5Grendel but she was also punching her tag at 8am opening morning within 75yds of the exact spot she shot her previous Nanny the years before.... some kids have all the luck.
Anyway - great shot!
Took us over 4hrs to recover it thought to the early tag punch was nice but it was across a canyon, up a brutal rock face and a steep decent back to the truck.
I realize now I might have been invited along just for help packing!
