There seems to be some misconceptions on the bore limits usable for hunting.
Here in Michigan, there are no bore restrictions for hunting with black powder during muzzleloading deer season or using a BP rifle, shotgun or handgun during regular deer season.Nor is there any restriction on bore size using a ML shotgun during turkey or a BP rifle or shotgun on small game.
FAQ from MI DNR website:
Q. What types of firearms are legal to use during the December muzzleloading deer season?
A person may use a muzzleloading rifle or muzzleloading shotgun or black-powder handgun loaded with black-powder or a commercially manufactured black-powder substitute. The use of smokeless powder during this deer season is unlawful statewide. The requirement that the firearm be loaded with a .44 caliber or larger projectile was repealed by the Natural Resources Commission in 2002 and is no longer in effect.
