[QUOTE="dlbleak, post: 1783696, member: 6795"] either gun is plenty capable. if you opt for the AR just make sure you get soft point or hollow point. i would go with the soft point as the metal jacket hollow oints may not expand enough. i believe FMJ are illegal for deer hunting. also make sure your mag can't hold more than 7 rounds. 7round mags are available just for hunting. thats being said,the 7.62x39 would make a fine deer round. ruger and cz and others are chambering it in bolt guns. the AK might leave a little to be desired at shots over 100-150 yrds though. make sure you practice with both at these ranges then decide based on where you are hunting. i like my deer up close and personal. of the couple dozen i've taken only two have been at 100 yards. the rest have been less than 50. so either would work. if you can get them close enough to hit with a slingshot, then you've beaten they're senses which is the real challenge. best of luck and have fun!
