I have always hunted Grouse with my 10/22, and was about to try it with my shotgun when I came upon the regs. in regards to shotguns. As per the regs, "It is unlawful to hunt with a pump, repeating or auto-loading shotgun with a magazine capable of holding more than 2 shells." I own a Winchester Camp Defender that has a capacity of 6 shells in the magazine, thus I cannot hunt with it even if I only have 2 in the tube. Am I correct? does anybody know if there is a longer plug available for my shot gun.

You have to have a plug in the tube so it will only hold two shells plus one in the chamber.

Thanks, I was sure I was correct. I have seen several people hunting with pumps and didn't know if I was misreading it.

THIS MIGHT BE A GOOD EXCUSE TO BUY A NEW THUNDER STICK. Any reasonably priced suggestions?

get a piece of 1/2" doweling ( or what ever fits your mag) cut to the length you need and theirs your plug.

What kind of price are you taking about? Another pump or semi or double barrel?
I just got a 12g stoeger coach gun. http://www.stoegerindustries.com/firearms/stoeger_coach_guns.php
I took my first grouse with it the other weekend. It's nice being able to take 2 shots quick in one motion

If you use the shotgun for trapping or hunting big game and have a single projectile (slug) you don't need a plug.
