Curious if anyone’s familiar with the general deer population in the “suburbs” area of Charleston? My brother in law lives on John’s Island, close to the coast, and there’s tidal creeks all around him and his area.
How big are the deer generally, compared to other areas in the SE? They known to be on the smaller side? Or are they monsters? Or pretty comparable to what we see here in GA?
He’s got a 16” 5.56 AR and we’re wondering if that’ll be enough for hunting, using something like a 70 grain all copper projectile.
Trying to avoid buying another firearm, but if 5.56 is sufficient and he gets serious, maybe a Ruger American in 5.56 would be nice & effective & affordable entry into the sport…
Any other tips or considerations are much appreciated.
Thanks
