Yup I sure do, I use a DPMS AP4 with a nikon prostaff 3-9x40. I have two brothers that also use AR's. My oldest brother got a nice buck with his (the picture is floating around on this forum). If you keep it within a practical range and can shoot it well and its legal in your state then you shouldnt have any problems using it for deer.
