Hunting With A What?

I wonder how many Americans go hunting with an AK-47? What purpose does it serve while hunting? It seems totally insane to me.

From Teen Shot, Killed In Hunting Accident:

A 14-year-old boy was accidentally shot and killed in a hunting accident by his grandfather, investigators said.

According to the Lavaca County Sheriff's Office, Taylor Michalec's grandfather said he was walking behind the teen when the trigger on his AK-47 assault rifle snagged a branch and discharged, striking the teen in the back.

Guns don’t kill people, people kill people. Yeah, right. If that were true this 14-year old boy would still be alive.

The authorities are not pressing charges. So, is it legal to go hunting with an AK-47 in Texas?
