What’s in it
AI summary People hunting turkey would be allowed to use smaller shotguns, specifically .410 caliber or 28-gauge, if they use a certain type of tungsten shot. Currently, hunters must use a shotgun that is at least 20-gauge. This change would let hunters use these smaller guns as long as the shot size is number 10 or larger.1
