For calling coyotes and you have a pack of 5 come in it’s nice to have a semi
or grizzlies, he's going to be hunting in bear country if he's from the Vancouver region

You'd have lost the bet. By nature, self loading guns are inherently more difficult to operate than other types, and require more attention from the operator. Yes, all guns require a regimen of safety. The question is whether the operator is capable of achieving that standard.
Action has nothing do with choice of hunting rifle, if you would like to use a semi auto black rifle to hunt, why not. I think the bigger concern would be managing to mount a scope on it with just the upper rails (mounting rings to the handguard is a terrible idea) and if you are okay lugging the weight (near 10lbs) for a that hunting rifle through the woods? IF yes to both, 100% would support anybody to go hunting with semi auto/black tactical rifle. I know a local dude that occasionally takes the tavor 7 hunting if he's using .308 instead of his other cartridges, plenty accurate to get it done right the first shot.
Most people that have concerns about AR type rifles snagging in bush have probably never used them.
I don't understand the concern about a semi loading another round after a shot on game. Doesn't everyone reload their bolt action immediately after taking a shot on an animal?
About the only legitimate logic, to choose otherwise than a semi-auto rifle: loading the first round at or near dawn, can sound like cocking the mechanism to an M2 .50 BMG in the morning forest.
Someone else mentioned this I think.
LOL
Im curious everyone's opinions on reasons for or against an AR style variant chambered in 308/7.62nato but a longer barrel for hunting. Basically before I spend money on something, is it stupid?
...I've seen more unsafe #### while hunting from guys with bolt actions than anything else, although bolt actions are far and away the most common in my circle.

Straight pull are in another ball park if you ask me. Almost as fast as some of the semi autos. I have a higher end straight pull 22, and that thing is amazing to shoot, and much prefer it over the 10/22, and its not just about the accuracy either.
I have actually turned to single shots as my latest niche. Just something about them falling blocks and stainless with a laminate stock, but this is about autos.
Like everything out there, one needs to learn and spend time with their firearm before heading out and using it, especially on a hunting trip out of a camp.

Well I started with a 10lb sans ammo LE No.4 with a chin weld, a 10lb AR10 with a flat top rail would be better than that lol. But no some liberal douchebag or fudd doesn’t think I need one to hunt with.
It wasn't LOL.It scares Toronto soccer moms (some of em ostensibly male) who never saw the bush in their life but know enough about hunting to tell us what we need haha.
The Stag-10 with a pencil profile barrel like a Faxon Gunner must have made a nice combo as long as it wasn't rear heavy
