Shotguns
• Rifled shotgun barrels of at least 18 inches in length are considered to be shotguns for the purpose of hunting deer if they fire a single projectile and are in the following gauges: 10, 12, 16, 20 and 28.
This is a blast from the past when Wisconsin was a lot more restrictive on rifles in the southern counties. We had a choice between muzzle loader or shotgun. No longer, but I was always interested in the 28. Unfortunately, there are few rifled barrels for the 28. Nice to try with a Ruger #1 or #3 or some other action with a better strenght than the old fashioned bolt action shotguns...
