Who said anything about an AR-15? Who said anything about .223/5.56? Who said anything about only deer and antelope hunting?
The OP said "AR." An AR-10 is an AR. So is an AR-15 chambered in deer or antelope cartridges like the 6.5 Grendel, 6.8 SPC II, .450 Bushmaster, and .350 Legend.
Even if the OP did mean deer with a .223, it's not unheard of here in CA. With all hunting, shot placement trumps displacement. In many parts of the US, .223 is the favored pig cartridge. The Inuit Indians favor the .223 for polar bear, seal, and sea lion.
There's also plenty of varmint and predator hunting to be done with the .223 in the lower 48. Talking about varminting, there's also rimfire AR's in .22LR, .17 WSM, and .17 HMR.
The OP said hunt with your AR. Many of us do. I shot my last whitetail buck (8 pts) with an AR (LR308). My friend shot his last whitetail with an AR in 6.5 Grendel (220 yard shot, DRT).
