anyone know if there is a law stating that you can only have a certain number of shells in a shotgun while hunting pheasants?

waterfoul it's 3 (mag plug) and that's the only instance I know.

If it doesn't matter I would probably get a semi auto and fit it for HD and take it hunting too. Maybe turkey if I put a scope on it (Know a guy who does this only uses his HD scattergun for deer)

Its the same here, the waterfowling conservation act in the UK states that you cant shoot pheasants with a gun capable of more than 3 shots...

Sadly we cant just plug it thou.... we have to have a seperate SG for that.:(

In Illinois it's three shells (in shotguns) for everything, pheasants, doves, deer, etc. And you darn sure better have a plug in the gun in case you get checked.

Same thing here in Ohio. Three shots, max for hunting. No problem for me since I shoot SxS doubles.

When we got a permit to shoot at the Mosquito Creek wildlife area, there was a limit of 10 shells/person, and the ODNR officer came around to make sure you weren't trying to hide extra shells.

They make the rules, and I play by them.

Here in South Dakota, there is no limit on the number of shells you can have in your gun. I don't know about anywhere else though.

I'm not sure why you would want to carry around the extra weight of a bunch of shells in your gun. It makes more sense to put them in your pockets.

If your into so many pheasants that you empty your 3 shells and miss the chance at others because you can't reload fast enough then you should focus on hitting the birds you shoot at, not just slinging more lead.
