To answer your question..... yes.


Here's what the reg book says about it specifically.


(3) TURKEY:

(a)

• Shotguns, 10 gauge or smaller using standard No. 2 shot or smaller.
• Long bows or compound bows in conformance with 220-2-.03 (no crossbows).
• Handguns or pistols using centerfire mushrooming ammunition, black powder handguns or pistols .40 caliber or larger.
• Handguns or pistols can only have open metallic sights (no scopes).

(b) Nothing in this section is intended to prohibit the possession of rifles, shotgun/rifle combinations (drilling) or buckshot and slugs when the hunter is stalk hunting other game animals and turkey provided no person shoots or attempts to shoot turkey with the rifle or shotgun using buckshot or slugs.
