I may have missed something, but I think that's it as far as regulations.
More than you asked for ..... Everyone that I hunt turkeys with uses a shotgun with either a full or an ultra full "turkey" choke , and a magnum shot-shells of various lengths, makes and shot loads. By far the 12 ga. is the bore of choice among my buds and pretty much split 50/50 between pump action and auto loaders. Most chokes being used by me and my buds are .660 and .670. Most popular shot shell among the group I hunt with is the 3" "turkey load" with either #6 or #4 lead shot. Some folks I hunt with use heavily loaded 3 1/2" shells, including the shoulder busting , $8.00/each "Rhino" shot shells that I personally think was developed by a masochist. I have tried these at the range and they do reach out there, group great out of my set up, but are simply too punishing and expensive to make sense to me.
