The Lacy Act made them illegal for migratory birds only. Otherwise, each state can decide whether they can be used for hunting, and many states do. They can be used down here. I started a thread on this over a year ago (8/24/2010). There was a lot of discussion. Mostly pro use but some where opposed to any use. IMHO, they don't know what they are talking as my 12 ga 3 1/2" turkey gun puts 300 pellets in. 10" circle at 40 yards using Nitro Company's Mega weight blend. (75 pellets at 70 yrs). I doubt an old 8 ga with a paper wad would out do it.
