There are plenty of reasons why someone might prefer an AR-15 over a hunting rifle to defend against animal pests. Just to think of a few: - The AR-15 is semiautomatic, compared to hunting rifles which are often bolt-action, and thus less convenient/ergonomic to operate - Plethora of aftermarket parts and accessories.
