I do not see it as a mixed bag of crap he simply defined what a rifle is. He did not state that only a rifle can be used. I did not ask about MGs or SBRs. By the definition an SBR would not be allowed. MGs are not specifically prohibited for small game, they are with big game. Pistols are OK for small and big game. There is a minimum size and energy for some small game specifically turkey.
Rifles and handguns used for the taking of turkeys shall use bullets of at least thirty-eight (38) grains in weight, with a manufacturer's energy rating of at least one-hundred ten (110) foot pounds at one-hundred (100) yards from the muzzle.
