1. As a M-16 is a restricted, Class 3 full-auto weapon, you can't Legally hunt ANYTHING with one, except possibly varmints, which require NO license, if you REALLY owned one, no matter what cartridge it was chambered for, or how it was equipped.
2. If you owned an AR-15 clone, it would depend on what ammunition it was chambered for, requiring at least a 6.5mm cartridge. In a majority of states, the 5,56x45 NATO (.223 Remington) is considered insufficient to hunt any game larger than rabbits, ESPECIALLY DEER! with good reason. The .223 'poodle shooter' has always been considered substandard by any marksman who shoots anything bigger than rodents.

Depends what you want to hunt. For most states the .223 caliber bullet is too small to hunt deer, elk, and other larger game with. And there I have never been asked what particular rifle I will be using when I buy tags, except for small talk between me and the guy behind the counter.

You can't hunt with an M-16. The most you can do with an M-16 is poach, even if you do have a hunting license and tags.

On the other hand, you can hunt with an AR-15 in semi-automatic, with a magazine limited to 5 rounds, such as the one below;

There are many possibly reasons.

Assuming that you do legally own an M-16 and are of proper age to buy a license and if hunter safety is required in your state that you have successfully passed it, odds are that .223 doesn't meet the minimum requirements for caliber and energy for the game you are planning on hunting.

You probably can; but if you use it to hunt you need to have a blocked magazine so you can only put 5 rounds in it. Having a little experience with an M-16 does cause me to ask a question though; do you need tags to hunt gophers?

You are illegal anyway to hunt with an M-16, because hunting is prohibitied with full auto weapons. Don't buy tags!, and don't tell anybody you are going hunting.

I wager she is your little sister. there is no reason of you to experience guilt. you probably did the clever AND appropriate concern. If something went incorrect, and she or he gets injured or she injured somebody else, then you definitely could fairly no longer purely experience to blame yet might desire to stay with it for something of your existence. Plus, you would be opened to prosecution via the state and lawsuit via the injured party's relatives. What your sister asked of you grew to become into very egocentric and fully in push aside of your well being, to no longer point out disrespect for you. initiate placing barriers now, or the subsequent time (if it hasn't already surpassed off) she would be inquiring for greater effective than purely a searching tag - perchance your automobile, money, mastercard, ... are you getting the image?

Who says you can't. I have hunted in 15 states and never was asked what gun I will use. I smell anti-hunting treehugger.

You can in Arkansas. Hell you can do anything here. I refer to it as Arkghanistan. You can get away with anything here. Just kidding it does have to be the semi auto variant. .223 is legal here to hunt with. I think there is a magazine round limit too.

I don't think it would be practicle to hunt with a machine gun or somthing that shoots 3 round bursts.I do know that in some states you can use semi auto weapons for hunting.You could probly use it in one of those states if you kept it on semi auto.Or If you had a AR-15 you could deffinatly use it in a state where semi auto weapons wer permitted.
