Comment 1 Andrey V. Elsukov freebsd_committer freebsd_triage 2015-11-16 15:38:56 UTC 
This is because you have configured it in rc.conf.
Comment 2 crest 2015-11-16 15:57:04 UTC 
Creating the gif1 interface triggers a LINK_UP event on /dev/devctl and the default devd configuration reacts to this event by running /etc/rc.d/netif start $interface.  

Please provide the output of `grep gif1 /etc/rc.conf`.
