A quick check of the Alabama regs says for squirrel and rabbit on Oakmulgee WMA it's legal to use: Shotguns using No. 4 shot or smaller, .22 caliber or smaller rimfire firearms, and muzzleloading rifles .40 caliber or smaller, or rifles operated by air.
For Turkeys during the season it's legal to use: Shotguns using No. 2 shot or smaller and bows & arrows (no crossbows).
The regs say for feral pigs: Open during any other legal season using weapons and ammunition approved for those hunts (No dogs allowed) (Daylight Hours Only).
Georgia lets us use any muzzleloader for small game but Alabama says .40 cal or smaller. I think I'd rather have a .22 mag in Alabama than a .36 caliber round ball tosser but it's hard to beat a .50 for pigs. In Turkey season, a bow might be better than a shotgun with #2 shot.
