I don't know if a guy would feel like a douchbag out hunting with an AR 15 but he sure would look like one.. Compairing 30.06 to 5.56 is about as stupid as this post in general. AK'S SKS, AR'S are for for plinking nothing more. All are way under powered for big game. A guy who would be out hunting with a AK 47 would also probably have a Glock in a shoulder holster, a .380 in his boot, 3 other guns in his truck and all the dirty Harry movies on DVD.
