Migratory Bird Approved Weapons

There are weapon restrictions for the taking of migratory birds.  Code of Federal Reguations 20.21 prohibits the taking of migratory birds with any shotgun capable of holding more than 3 shells, unless it is plugged with a one-piece filler, incapable of removal without disassebling the gun, so its total capacity does not exceed three shells.  This rule does not apply in Idaho during the light-goose-only season (greater and leser snow geese and Ross's geese) when all other waterfowl and crane hunting seasons, excluding falconry, are closed.  Any shotgun capable of holding more than three shells that did not meet this requirement would be unlawful for the hunting of ducks.
