That's awesome. I would like to go hunting, I would new a different rifle though. My Colt AR-15 HBAR is a precision version (as opposed to tactical) but is a .223. My understanding is that minimum caliber to hunt deer in VA is .23. I would also prefer to go with someone, besides the buddy system I wouldn't know what all to do and what not to do, how to do it, etc.

On private lands you have to be at least 100 yards from anyone else's property to hunt without their permission, correct?
