• 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?

Correct. As Ryan said, no rifle state meaning they don't want people's rifle rounds travelling into populated areas. The lower half of Michigan's lower penninsula is the same way; Shotgun slugs and pistol only for firearm deer season. The northern LP and UP are both rifle friendly, but from what I hear (and have seen) there are less deer up there compared to down here lately.
