A few years ago, Minnesota DNR decided that shotguns larger than 10 gauge were not authorized for hunting turkey. I wonder how many 8s there are in the entire state. Tom Armbrust made a bunch of 1-1/2 ounce loads for me a few years back when I intended on using my 8 for turkeys. Tom's loads, at 1200 FPS, are tame compared to all the HEAVY 12 and 10 gauge loads, specifically made for turkey and waterfowl. I wonder how many people in our DNR have even SEEN a real 8 bore shotgun, let alone firing one. Someone on our gubmint payroll had too much time on his/her hands!
