I plan on using my Kalishnikov to hunt for javelina this season. (A javelina is a mean toothy piglike critter that lives in the southwest.) My friend is bringing his AR-15. We both have 5 round mags, which makes them no different than any other semi-auto hunting rifle.

I've got a cousin who went javelina hunting years ago, and they ended up hunting HIM! They chased him into a Prickly Pear patch, and in the end he was (relatively) unharmed.

You might put a five round mag in your AK, but I'll "betcha" that you keep a 30 rounder in your back pocket! :-)

I'm going to check with Game & Fish, but I recall that it's against the law to posess a hi-cap mag while you are hunting. I'll for sure be carrying an extra 5 rd mag or 2 with me, and also carry a sidearm with some high-power hollowpoint rounds.

Javelina are mean critters, but if 3 guys with rifles and sidearms can't put down a few on the attack... then I figure we probably deserve to get gored, just for being such bad shots. :)
