Home Forums Birds & Dogs Turkey Hunting TSS facts verses fiction

Here in Virginia, turkeys can be harvested with just about anything, except in sping. In spring, shotguns must be loaded with shot no larger than #2. But a hunter can still use other weapons if county ordinances allow it. In Virginia, turkeys are "big game" and a few counties are "no rifles for big game" counties. Others are "no rifles for deer" counties. And still others are "no rifles larger than .22 caliber for hunting" counties. All the counties I hunt, rifles and archery are perfectly legal for spring turkey. So are airguns.
