Against my wishes, it' s legal in Virginia. [:@] I don' t think there are any caliber restrictions though.

You can' t use a rifle here in NH but in WV you can. I can' t see turkey hunting being as fun or challenging as it is hunting with a rifle. Save your ammo for groundhogs

It' s illegal in Arkansas too. I bet the calibers you can use are limited. It may just be easier, and I know it' d be more fun to shotgun one. But check your state' s game and fish or dnr site. Should have the info you need on it.

Rifles aren' t legal at any time in MO for turkeys and I hope that never changes, it can be dangerous enough as it is.
