For deer, its still a hunting rifle - not some semi-automatic weapon - it would absolutely ruin the meat and the hide and or head for "rack" stuffing.

Semi-auto rifles have been used in hunting for over 100 years. They shoot the same bullets as their bolt- and lever- and pump-action cousins. They do not "ruin the meat". You use them exactly as you would any other rifle: carefully aimed single shots, not spray-n-pray. They are under exactly the same magazine restrictions for hunting as any other rifle, generally 3-5 rounds in most states.

I'm not sure how you think they are used or where you got such erroneous information from, but please do some more research, or just ask questions. I'll be happy to answer.
