[QUOTE="86alaskan, post: 1841273, member: 75933"] I would try it, but in Missouri it's illegal. I imagine it's mostly due to safety reasons, as people seem to get shot with shotguns during the season, so a rifle would only be worse. I can see where it would greatly improve your odds of harvest, but I can't say I've ever actually turkey hunted with the intent to harvest for harvest's sake. I turkey hunt in MO to get out out after a long winter, see the woods come to life, and to get up close and personal with one of the wariest of game species around. I like to carry a light 20ga SKB o/u and wait for them to get close. You get way more of the caveman adrenaline rush when you're 10yds from a turkey than you do plunking one at 200yds outside of their danger zone. [/QUOTE]
