Can I carry shotgun shells loaded with bird shot when I am hunting deer?
Yes, you may carry bird shot of any size with you when you are hunting deer during the regular season. Conservation Law prohibits you from hunting deer with a shotgun loaded with shells other than shells loaded with a single round ball or a single slug. But there is no law that prohibits you from stopping your hunt for deer when you see small game, unloading your slug(s), loading shotgun shells of your choice, and hunting for small game.
