You should be able to use an 8 gauge with chamber mates for waterfowling anywhere in the US. If you've got 10 or 12 gauge shells in it then it's a 10 or 12 gauge no matter the bore size. I don't believe there's a warden in the US that would give you any trouble over that one. If you don't have 8 gauge shells on you then you aren't using an 8 gauge gun, it's just that simple.
