The reason shotguns are required for turkeys in many jurisdictions has nothing to do with it being required to kill a turkey and everything to do with safety. Turkey hunting is done while wearing full camo which makes other hunters hard to see. Shotguns limit the range of the shot thereby reducing the risk.
Where is your proof for that statement? Full camo is not a prerequisite or requirement for turkey hunting.
I never said that camo was
required to be sucessful; it just improves the odds.
Regardless there is a very good chance that there will be hunters wearing full camo in the woods during turkey season, hence the safety regs.
