There are a lot of valid reasons for limiting the useable firearms.
For one thing, taking a deer with shotgun slugs is a lot more difficult than doing so with a. 30-06, and we haven't always had a huge deer population.
The northern half of the state is very flat and still decently populated. It's not at all hard to see careless, overzealous hunters shooting into neighborhoods beyond their targets.
And most importantly, every time they make new cartridges useable, it's an excuse to get another gun!
