By the way, I don't believe most market hunters were using 8 ga for ducks when they were outlawed. I'll bet that if someone did the research they would find that the gun of choice was a 12 ga pump because in those days prior to Lacy Act you don't have to plug your pump. It was a lot more fire power then a two barrel 8 ga.
IMO, 8 ga shouldn't be outlawed for any reason. Your limit of ducks is 6-what's the difference how they die? Most game regulations don't make sense when you think about it. For example, I'll go away duck hunting for 3 days. I can kill 6 a day for a total of 18. But I can't take them all home with me because my possession limit is 12. Tell me how that makes any sense! Just a way for the gov't to hassle law abiding citizen, IMO. It's a waste of our tax money. Did you ever see some of these game officials? They carry stun guns, pistols, wear bullet proof vests, etc. They look like members of Seal Team 6. For what? To make sure I didn't kill an extra teal? That's how our tax dollars are spent worrying about a duck. Pls don't get me started!
