[gobb-lemon]

Alot of talk about this, just would like to see how you vote.

Banning rifles??? For TURKEY HUNTING.........  YES , NO OR To EACH his own

[TClark]

I wouldn't hunt them with a 22 let alone anything larger than that for the reason of safety.
I have a friend that shot one with a 7mm mag....I mean come on already.

[guesswho]

Ban them!

[chatterbox]

Ban them!

X2!

muzzle loading rifles are legal in Ga. You can only hunt hogs with a firearm that is legal for turkeys during turkey season. Let them hog hunters have something to shoot them with. Its pretty disgusting to see  someone actually hunting turks with one. Guess everything has ups and downs

Ban em....

[outlaw]

keep it legal let man hunt with what he wants

[warchickenchaser]

Archery Only!

Even though it is hard to understand, enough people get shot with shotguns turkey hunting let alone a rifle.  I never knew they were allowed in SC.  Glad they were banned here also.

[derek]

Ban em!! Always been a little nervous hunting in Virginia just because they're legal. 

[gobbler74]

What about for deer hunting?

[TauntoHawk]

my jaw literally dropped when i found out that rifles were actually allowed in some states, its pretty rediculous thought to me. cant be sporting to drop a bird at 80yds plus and theres not really a "my family needs the meat arguement" like there is with deer since you only get 1 maybe 2 meals worth of meat. i understand some "old timers" like the dont mess with tradition and ban anything but for safety reasons as well as management of turkeys it makes sense.

Id be worried to be in the woods and definently wouldnt feel good about using decoys either

[Basser69]

Doesn't hunting turkeys with a rifle take all the fun out of it? I can shoot a bird with my shotgun farther than I care to admit

[VaTuRkStOmPeR]

I would like to rifles in turkey hunting become a thing of the past.

If they can be safely utilized why would you want to see any type of hunting outlawed. We as hunters need to stop arguing with ourselves and worry more about our rights as a whole. Our kids and Grandkids might not be allowed to hunt them with shotguns if a lot of the folks in Washinton get their way. Whatever your opinion is get out and vote for pro-gun/hunting politicians.
