With a 5 round magazine and either JHP or soft point bullets, FMJ is NEVER allowed.
I mean no offense here at all, so anyone reading it please understand my intention is not to offend, but something i will never understand is why people bad mouth the 7.62x39 cartridge as a hunting cartridge. It has very similar ballistics as the 30-30, and NO one bad mouths the venerable 30-30! Matter of fact, the 30-30 has harvested more game in north america than any other centerifre rifle.
The 7.62x39 cartridge with the right ammunition is just as effective at taking game as the 30-30, and some say it does a little better on penetration than the 30-30 does.

Boker old pal, you and I are on the same page!!!
The 7.62x39mm Soviet is virtually a .30-30 Automatic.
Alan, IIRC semi-automatic rifles are limited to five round magazines when used for hunting in Alabama, at least they were 20 years ago. I believe you can get a 5-round magazine from Cheaper Than Dirt. Of course you will need to get some soft-point or hollow-point ammo to go along with the short magazine.

Why not get something better than an AK-47 ?
The ak's & the sks's are not real good hunting weapons. Almost anything would be better.
Unless that is, unless you want to brag to your buddies , about how macho you are, for hunting with a military style weapon

Yes. A 5-round magazine may be required, or a magazine limited to 5 rounds may be used.

I'm sure you can with a 5 round magazine.
But getting a fully auto AK-47 is pretty difficult in itself.
