even if it were leagal in mich. i still woulnt use a rifle. you could shoot another hunter. but if its leagal in your state, then i would find out the restrictions on the caliber/s you can use.

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.

Not legal in Wis, and don' t see why you' ld want to, except to save yourself from buying another gun....and WHY would you want to NOT buy a new gun?!

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.
