Illinois use to be nothing larger then #4 and not smaller then #7, but this year it has changed to just nothing larger then #4 and no limit on how small.

HAHA I'll fix that.

Some states didn't allow .410s. Probably should have noted more of that information but when I started I was only looking a shot size regulations.

I appreciate the work this is now something I have to check as I travel to states. I have to be aware that the tss I use in PA isn't legal on the next days hunt in NY.

Maine has not evolved but NH has. Maine is nothing smaller than #6 shot unless it is in a multishot shell. Up here the wardens will dismantle handloads. Only happened to me duck hunting, I have never used hand loads for turkey's. I pester the Maine wardens when I see them about it. Hasn't helped yet, Lol
Would a blend of 6s and 7s be legal in Maine?  I think it would be, but the wording in their regs doesn't make this obvious to me.  It says blends including sizes 4 through 7.

Nice chart Gobble! - Nebraska and all!!!  :icon_thumright: That would be a handy quick reference on here.

7 1/2 for Nebraska.  I'll stick with my WLB.  They've always killed birds as dead as I need them to be.

Also in Ga. any muzzle loading firearm. However I don't know of but one person that uses a rifle. He finds feathers and guts but no turkeys.

Thanks amigo - very kind of you to do.

I know I have violated Nebraska's $hit size requirements :funnyturkey:

Gobble!

I can tell you that the Massachusetts State Board of the NWTF will be working on a proposal to allow this.  Most likely won't have a resolution for this spring though. Federal is being very helpful with us. Hopefully we'll get a positive resolution.

I looked up the Mississippi reg because I had never heard of .t part I think had to do with night hunting raccoons.  What I found was this.  "The hunting of turkeys during the spring gobbler season shall be restricted to shotguns only and with no shot larger than number two, compound, re-curve, Cross bow, and long bows. However, any quadriplegic may hunt turkey with a rifle."
