The other thing is that we have so many Veterans out there whose lives depended on the M4-M16 platform that it's so natural for them to carry an AR into the field, much like our elders came back from WW1 and dropped their lever actions and started hunting with bolt guns. Evolution.

I understand the first part and have considered hunting WY antelope with mine for just that reason.

The second part I understand to a degree but no one can convince me the AR's are not bulky and less handy than a svelte bolt rifle or lever gun.

No, I'm not a Ruger bigot - just an unabashed fan of their revolvers, M77's and #1's.

A good .30-06 is a 99% solution.
