    Some have been down this path before - apparently some DoC staff have no problems with a shotgun so long as you are only carrying slugs, check with your local DoC office if you intend on going on Public Conservation Land. And if you have a rifled barrel on the shotgun, then its a moot point anyway. If it was me I'd go for it, a 12g slug such as a Brenneke through a smoothbore, or a saboted slug through a rifled barrel are deadly. Good friend of mine did a testfire with a Remington with a fully rifled barrel and scoped and was able to consistently shoot a 3", 5 shot group at 100, and was happy taking a shot on game out to 150.
