First, I'll say I'm a big advocate of using appropriate
Turkey loads that pattern well from the particular
shotgun you are using. Somewhere there is a
Turkey load that will pattern well in that shotgun.
However, I do have to say that Phil needs to go
back to the Maine law book, while lead shot is
prohibited for hunting migratory waterfowl
there is nothing preventing someone from using
lead shot in Maine while hunting Turkeys. The
only restriction is on shot size 4's to 6's or
4's to 7's with a mixed load.
