Southern Michigan is one and I think Indiana. Hence all the hype around these parts for the 450 bushmaster. Michigan also has length requirements for this zone, so a 45-70 is too long, even though it closely resembles the bushmaster in performance. the reasoning is to limit the effective range of rifles in the heavily populated areas. Michigan's southern area has always been shotgun or muzzleloader only, until they passed the limited rifle rules a few years ago. Its really nice, since good sabot shotgun slugs are very expensive, about impossible to reload for, recoil excessively especially for kids, and have questionalble accuracy. The 450 bushy is a great alternative.
