TRKHNTR Report post Posted October 15, 2015 Sorry, Montana. hopefully Montana allows "buddy hunting" and you can take both birds in the same area and on the same day. yes "this one might get juicy". Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Str8Shot Report post Posted October 15, 2015 I thought that Montana did not allow muzzle loader as legal method of take for turkey.... I guess raises a question I never thought of ... Is a muzzle Loader with shotgun barrel considered the same as a shotgun ... My thought is No, but could see where some could get confused. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jim Report post Posted October 15, 2015 I have a 12ga muzzle loader. I have killed turkey's in AZ and NM with it. Game wardens love it, I have been checked in both states and they thought it was cool that someone was hunting with a muzzl loader shotgun. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
208muley Report post Posted October 15, 2015 Looking at the regs for Az I did not find anything that says muzzle loaders shooting shot was legal. They do say shotguns, bows, and crossbows are legal. So do they consider muzzle loaders shooting shot a shotgun? I could not find any definition of a shotgun to back it up one way or the other. Not trying to start an arguement at all just looking for clarification using the regs. They define a muzzleloader but not one shooting shot. I think it would be cool just can't find anything to back it up.. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Big Browns Report post Posted October 15, 2015 If you have a "shotgun" barrel on a muzzle loader it's considered a shotgun! 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Worst case scenario is if a Game Warden stops you he may ask you to shoot the gun to prove there is shot in the gun. Your point did get me to thinking however can you hunt turkey with Taurus Judge using the .410? You would have to wait until they are 10-15 yards away but that would be fun IMO and if it is legal I will be trying it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jim Report post Posted October 15, 2015 Legal method of take Limited Weapon-Shotgun Shooting Shot Hunt: Any shotgun shooting shot as prescribed in R12-4-318 or crossbow orbow and arrow as prescribed in R12-4-304. Archery-Only Hunt: Bow and arrow as prescribed in R12-4-304 and R12-4-318 and/or crossbow as allowed under R12-4-216. Centerfire rifles, muzzleloading rifles and handguns are no longer legalmethods of take. There are numerous muzzleloading shotguns on the market. They are not muzzzle loading rifles. You have more slug choices for a reg shotgun than a muzzle loader shotgun does to be able to shoot a solid bullet. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Coues assassin Report post Posted October 15, 2015 When reading the thread I automatically assumed he was from another state and therefore could shoot two turkeys. There are some dumb people out there but no one dumb enough to post something as illegal as that had they been in az. I'm surprised everyone believed him to be hunting in AZ. why would you assume he is from another state where u can shoot two turkeys when he says his buddy had to tag the other one? If his buddy tagged an animal he didn't shoot why would that be legal in any state? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

GreyGhost85 Report post Posted October 15, 2015 I'm not sure if there is a state where that is legal? accidents do happen and tagging the other turkey was probably the right thing to do, although maybe not the legal thing to do? 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
