turkey hunting while muzzleloading?
« on: July 08, 2011, 09:43:18 AM »
Is it legal to carry a shotgun for turkey hunting while muzzleloading for deer?
Maturity is when you have the power to destroy someone who did you wrong but instead you breathe, walk away, and let life take care of them.

I don't know about the legality of it, but I tend to lean to the conservative side.  I try to not put myself in situations that I may have to explain my actions.  Plus, how much would it suck to blast a turkey then watch that white flag of a monster whitey racing off to the next county.  You never know whats behind that bush over there.   :twocents:

I see no problem as long as the season is open where you're hunting and you have a valid tag, but you can always pose that to your regional WDFW office .... I know I have a shotgun with me during deer season on the "wetside" since grouse and rabbit is also open ...

I have never shot a turkey before and that would be my first opportunity to do so.
