I would like to announce that as a young person I hunted for food

17. Some hunters do use AR15 or the higher powered AR10 to hunt deer but ...

most states limit the magazine capacity used while hunting with any semi-auto rifle to five rounds.

There is no realistic reason to have a 20 or 30 round magazine to hunt deer as your chances of getting a clean kill drop significantly after the first shot. I remember that Florida limited the size of a magazine used while hunting many years ago as the "spray and pray" approach to hunting endangered other hunters.

While I am not a hunter, I live in an area where the sport is popular and many people hunt deer during the season to stock their freezers with meat. The hunters that I have talked to use bolt or lever action rifles. Many feel an AR15 is underpowered for deer hunting.

I understand a hunter can use an AR15 with a hi-cap magazine to hunt hog on private property in Florida. Feral hogs are considered pests as they are not a native species and they do considerable damage to the environment. Feral hogs are the second most popular large game for hunters in Florida and white tailed deer are the most popular.

In the area of Florida where I now live it is wise to be alert for deer when driving. There is a significant deer population and they have a tendency to run out right in front of your car and can cause significant damage if you hit one. Hunting helps to keep the deer population under control.
