Not me. I use whatever is legal for hunting and carry for the two legged predators. Not all the yee-haws are out hunting game.
Ok I got something to throw in the ring here.
Say im turkey hunting on Saturday on a certain wma with hogs and one steps out I pop him with my carry gun.
Not the shotgun. I wonder what the rule is there.
I normally carry my .357mag but if can pop one with my side arm ill carry my .44mag ranchhand.
I guess all that comes under the use the weapon for the season only deal. Bet its a no go.

the law is very clear. it states, for turkey, shotgun with no 2 shot or smaller , primitive weapon, or bow. That being said, it is also very clear in that you may only kill a hog with a legal turkey weapon during turkey season on government land. (any weapon is legal on private land).
p.s. don't even have buckshot in your vehicle on a wma. they frown upon it....

Just go get yourself a used BP, cheaper than a ticket and better than getting booted from hunting.
Spoke to a federal officer about this last month as I was carrying an SRH. I carry it in the event a fast follow up or mercy shot is needed. He said that you better make sure it is a follow up and that the legal weapon was used first. I'll let you take that as you will.
A little off the subject,but during furbearer season(last season) on wmas,you could use centerfire weapons to hunt hogs.Which means your deer rifle.For instance,if a wma allowed you to hunt fox,bobcat after deer season,you could go there and hunt hogs with the same weapon,as centerfires were legalized this past season for fox and cats.No orange required.But highly recommended.If you think I`m full of "it",this was brought to my attention by a game warden who is an area manager on a wma with some hogs on it.

I don't think you're 'full of it' as I know what you claim to be correct.
