Floating or Ghoast round Legal??

[Huntin&Fishin]

So some say it is illegal to have a floating or Ghost round (in between the chamber and magazine) I think it is legal cause the waterfowl booklet states "…With a shotgun that can hold more

than three shells, UNLESS you plug it

with a one piece filler that cannot be

removed without disassembling the

gun."

So if your gun is capable or you changed it so it is capable what are your guys thoughts?

[RumRiverRat]

I am confused....what is a ghost round?

[riverrat56]

Some guns can keep a fourth round right below the chamber but not in the magazine.

I'm not sure on the legality, its a gray area, but how many ducks can you really kill on shot #4?

[Gordie]

as I understand it you can only have three shells in your gun and thats it. a ghost round would be four but I guess you would be better asking a question like that to the DNR or your local CO. go to the Dnr web site and ask them they answer in about 1 to 2 days.

Myself I only will use three shells because thats how I interpet the law.

[RumRiverRat]

Another option is having more than 1 gun per person in the boat.

It is legal.

[Gordie]

yes and I do that one for ducks and one is loaded for geese just in case

[Huntin&Fishin]

Ya haha alot of time it probly be hard to get a fourth one off

[Maxxed Out]

I believe Foiles got in trouble in his Falling Skies 5 for floating a shell.

[Crusty old Swede]

Not legal. Most repeaters will jam if you try to operate them with a floater. CO's will only inquire about floating a shell if you have a gun that will work with a floater & they suspect a fourth shot being fired. To answer the question that's coming - older Benelli's

its a handy little trick when your bowling for snows in the spring...

[Gordie]

I thought they passed a law that you dont need a plug for spring snows I may be wrong but wasnt there somthing about this earlier this year?

[Superduty]

I do not shoot a Benelli, but I know some guys that like to float the fourth and plead the fifth. It is illegal.

[Finlander]

Why take a chance and getting caught then being the person the CO will keep an eye on!

[Cedarcreek]

Older benelli do but is illegal 3 in gun is the law. Just try pleading the 5th it won't work. You will have to try to get your gun back for next season. 3 in gun means more time away from wife!

Can you really have a second loaded gun in the boat/blind? I always thought you could only have one gun. thnx

Yes

[Huntin&Fishin]

IF you try to operate them with a floater. CO's will only inquire. To answer the question that's coming - older Benelli's

But you can alter the new SBE II to do it

spring conservation order has never required the use of a plug. i dont want to drop $100 on an extension, so i'll float one if i'm on a jump shoot.
