most enthusiasts will agree that the M4 is an excellent weapon. Hunters will not agree that the .223 caliber is good for deer hunting. the popular calibers for deer will be 30-06, .243 winchester, 30-30, and .308 winchester.
Deer taken by gun rifle/slug and by bow.
Yes
The 7.65mm Mauser rifle is MORE than adequate for deer hunting- IF a soft point hunting cartridge is used. Full metal jacket military ammo should not be used for hunting.
Only if your rifle is firing handgun rounds.
Winchester 94 in 30-30 caliber.
Anywhere from $150-$700. Depends on the rifle. Some can be MUCH more expensive. For hunting deer sized animals, a good quality bolt action rifle in .308 can be had for around $250.
Yes, if you have a semi auto and are in a rifle county. It has about the same power as a 30-30 deer rifle. Nothing great.
That will depend on the individual. Some will prefer a shotgun and others a rifle.
Depending on the state, .22 cal. to .400 mag. The most common deer rifle is probably the .30-06.
In most states, half an hour before sunrise to half an hour after sunset.
It all depends on what your biggest deer rifle is. I think the BIGGEST (i think) is a .454 The biggest RIFLE is a nitro express .700 (BIGGER THAN A 50 CAL.) It is used for elephant hunting though
Only when you need aiming. Which is mostly never. Roe deer hunting in Scandinavia or Turkey hunting in the US might be examples of exceptions.
