turkey gun?

[Dermody15]

Im just making sure, but isnt the only legal gun for any season for wild turkey a shotgun? I've read on web pages of guys taking turkeys with .22 and .17 rimfires?
Im i correct or can people really use other calibers?

According to Missouri's Wildlife Code: Turkeys can only be taken with a shotgun, with shot no larger than No. 4.

is a .22 cal smootbore birdshot gun considered a shotgun?

No! it has to be a shotgun! although you may use a bow if you like.
