We used to hunt a shotgun only zone in upstate ny, that they just switched to allow rifles. In the past, the only gun's you would see were 12 gauge semi autos with a bead sight. In close quarters,(shotgun range) a scope will only slow u down. plus due to the bullet size, the shock of a 12 gauge slug hitting a deer will generally drop it no matter where u hit him, at least temporarily.
