Big game reg shotgun slug question?

[xjon]

it states:
(d) Shotguns capable of holding not more than three shells ring single slugs may be used for the taking of deer, bear and wild pigs. In areas where the discharge of ri es or shotguns with slugs is prohibited by county ordinance, shotguns capable of holding not more than three shells ring size 0 or 00 buckshot may be used for the taking of deer only.

Does anyone know what areas prohibits single slugs? Would local sherrif department or dfw know that?

 

[Aeon]

what area are you wondering about?

 

[xjon]

D15 CNF west side and ortega. D14 lucerne area and fawnskin.
D12 area also but have not yet located an area to hunt.

Are you attempting to use slugs because you don't have a rifle?......The reason I ask is, I had a property that was bow or shotgun only....I had to be within 50 yds of a target just to hit somewhere on the target with a standard shotgun with a cylinder choke (recommended).....Terrible groups.

Those areas you mentioned all allow rifles as far as I know.....And since they allow rifles, I'm pretty sure they allow slugs.

Have a rifle that i normally hunt with. But im considering carrying a shotgun as secondary or if i plan on going after small game if opportunity pops up. I thought buck shots were ok then i see its strictly slugs.
At the range i was shooting at 50 yds, then 100 yds just to get an idea of where it hits. Good enough for 100 so i stretched out to 200 and by that time my shoulder was done. I will try to see how they group next time.

Pretty good article about slugs.....Sounds like to me, they're pretty much like I found. Out of a regular smoothbore shotgun, they're not very accurate pass 50 yds.....Out of a rifled barrel with a scope pretty good out pass 100 yds.

Also, to my knowledge, it's not illegal to shoot deer with 00 buck......Deer yes, pigs no.

As a rule of thumb I try not to shoot animals that I am not hunting. Unless I am bird hunting which then I am game on for Pheasant, Quail, and dove. A great example would be SDbirds and I were Javelina hunting for three days straight a Jack Rabbit stood up and I was going to shoot it out of pure boredom and frustration. I didn't take the shot and not 10 minutes later I practically stepped on a Javelina a few hundred yards away. I did not get a shot at the stinker but had I shot at that jack I can guarantee that Javelina would not have still been bed down. If your hunting deer just hunt deer. Even if a coyote pops up resist the temptation because it will haunt you if you pull the trigger and next thing you know a giant buck goes flying by.

Good rule, but I do carry my .260 with me when hunting rabbits (with my .22), just in case I get a random shot at a coyote. Rabbits have short memories and don't run far.

this makes sense compared to the other stories. A javelina likely would get up and RUN and not stop. Rabbits are prey, they just seek the closest hidey hole.

Lol don rabbits don't count. I should have been more clear how about this if I am hunting something with a tag I am not going to try not to waste an opportunity. I passed on a couple D12 coyote last year, they were perfect dumb dogs standing broadside 100yards waiting to get shot.
But yes I will shoot a coyote all day long while rabbit hunting.
