I could handle that. Have my fill of using shotguns. Emailed the DNR earlier this fall concerning that. Was told that the decision to limit us to shotguns wasn't decided upon by the state but by residents in the shotgun areas. Since that was before my time, cannot verify one way or the other, but I have my doubts... DNR has come out publicly stating that shotguns are not any safer than rifles, based on that study that was done out east. He went on to say that to change it, we would have to go through our consevation congress. Whatever that all involves? Tom
