I just looked online at Indiana's laws and it looks like I can't use a rifle for a turkey. Guess I'll have to buy a slug barrel for my Remington 870 12ga:
"Legal Equipment:
Turkeys can be hunted only with:
• A 10-, 12-, 16- or 20-gauge shotgun loaded with pellets of size No. 4, 5, 6, 7 or 7½.
• A muzzleloading shotgun not smaller than 20-gauge and not larger than 10-gauge, loaded with pellets of size No. 4, 5, 6, 7 or 7½. Combination loads using shot sizes other than these are illegal.
• Bow and arrow
• A crossbow"
Here is the info for deer:
"Rifles with cartridges that fire a bullet
of .357-inch diameter or larger; have a minimum case length of 1.16 inches; and have a maximum case length of 1.625 inches are legal to use only during the deer firearm season. Some cartridges legal for deer hunting include the .357 Magnum, .38-.40 Winchester, .41 Magnum, .41 Special, .44 Magnum, .44 Special, .44-.40 Winchester, .45 Colt, .454 Casull, .458 SOCOM, .475 Linebaugh, .480 Ruger, .50 Action Express, and .500 S&W"
I don't believe a .30-.30 would be allowed. Am I right?
