Why?

I guess in states where rifles are legal, the state can put the screws to traditional shotgun hunters.

RE: MN question

Buckshot isn't leagle in many areas (Not leage in Wisc. either) becuase it woulds a lot of animals. A well placed slug is more effective. A lot of peaple beleive they can take shots through thick brush or at deer they couldn't hit with a single slug and will some how do better by haveing a pattern of pellets.
