Plugs in Shotguns
 
It's legal here in Missouri... to remove your plug during Deer Season only... so someone can have 5 Sheels in their Gun.
What other State's is it legal in, and what State's is it illegal?
My Remington 870 I bought from a Pawn Shop came without one... but I'm not gonna buy onr from a Gun Shop till December when I start Squirrel hunting. They're only $3...

In Minnesota, you can be unplugged for everything except waterfowl.

In SC the only thing I can think of right off that requires a plug is dove hunting. Everything else is wide open.

remember keep your back to the sun, your knife sharp, and your powder dry.

In Arkansas you only have to plug your gun if hunting waterfowl or migratory birds such as dove. After duck season is over in the state, you can unplug guns to hunt snows & blus (geese)to help thin out their population.

Sounds like Mo and Pa is pretty much the same then, as far as the plug situation is conscerned.

Newfoundland, Canada.

Plugged, three rounds only for any type of hunting.

I'm guessing that when it comes to big game, taking the limited range into consideration, if you can't get the job done with three slugs then two or three more ain't gonna help.

That's my take anyway, YMMV.

NY State - No plug required for deer season. ( I wish they would change that law ) I see way too many people shooting 4-5 times, emptying their shotguns at deer. That's how I got shot in the back last year. By a hunter emptying his gun at a bunch of running deer.

I gotta agree with crowpecker sometimes it sounds like a war zone behind my house (kind of scary). what ever happend to make the first shot count.

Hey sven, I believe you can unplug your guns for snows in the late season.
