Many points keep coming to mind.
The SKS and AK-47 would be legal in many states for hunting with the appropriate magazine limiting the rounds to state limits.
These rifles are typically chambered in 7.62x39 which is the ballistic twin of the .30-30 which has probably accounted for more deer than any other.
An SKS can be purchased for $150-200. With this rifle a young man/woman on a budget could then ethically hunt deer sized game. Even without the 2nd Amendment issue I would not keep these folks out of the hunting fields bases solely on the appearance of their chosen firearm.
