Do I understand correctly that current Wisconsin Hunting Regulations prohibit hunting deer with a shotgun - indirectly, by ammo requirements?
As per Regulations,
It is illegal to:
• Use, possess, or have under control of any of the following while hunting:
• Shot shells containing shot larger than T, except when hunting for furbearing animals.
• .......
• Hunt a deer, bear, or elk with any ammunition other than an arrow, bolt, or bullet that is a single projectile of an expanding design.
So, slug is not permitted for deer because it's larger than T. Buckshot is not permitted because it is both larger than T and not single projectile.
If the above is correct, what is the reason to prohibit slugs?
If a slug is not considered 'shot', which official document defines that?
