Rifle and shotgun while goose hunting

I can not fathom having to worry about a badger wanting to crawl into my duck blind let alone a coyote, but a 12 gauge loaded for geese will not deter me from taking care of business should it come to that.

This. I've clobbered coyotes with my goose loads before. Not sure why I would want to hump another firearm into the field.

Or just Google "group of badgers". That's actually what I did. I thought I should have the proper name for this newest outdoor threat so that when they attacked in a group, I would be able to make the 911 call and not sound like an idiot.

Oh come on man...
I was just teasen ...a warren is a large group of cats....
Domestic cats....
Anyways, I'm sure the OP is getting perplexed on what he should or should not do and maybe we should too.
Decide what to do if we are in a blind and a group of Badgers come a calling.

Under federal migratory regulations if you have more than 1 firearm with you during your hunt the extra firearms must be cased during the hunt. If you need to take out the rifle to shoot a coyote you must first unload and case your waterfowl gun before uncasing and loading your second firearm. That's a federal regulation of the migratory bird treaty act

That's great. I'm sure the warren of badgers will wait politely for us to do all that, before climbing into our blinds with us.

Also check out the shooting from a boat regs.
Probably different in Alberta, but here, you can't do it unless anchored, or your boat is a traditional canoe.

Yeah, different in Alberta.

Lots of guys drifting rivers, calling for moose. As long as the motor is pulled up, Good to Go. Unless that has changed in the last few years since I left.

If a badger was close enough to be about to enter your blind, any standard goose load would easily dispatch it. And at close range BB steel will also dispatch a coyote quite handily.

Gnome75 gets it.... I have never had to shoot a badger, but I did have to drag a dead one off my driveway(hit by a car) and it was like a pit bull, all muscle claws and teeth , actually a pit bull would likely loose in a dispute ...... I put a lot of faith in the old 22lr , but you have me thinking it may not be adequate. thats ok, I got options. cheers

And you thought that some other posters were being sarcastic? Laugh2 Laugh2 Laugh2
 
There is a way around that rule. If you get a Savage 24 rifle/shotgun combo gun you are technically only carrying one gun so you would be legal.
 
Thanks Spank ... I was interpreting as more than one shotgun ..... read and re read , and then re read it again , and you are wright about dispatching the bager with the heavier bird shot , I will have to take your word for it when it comes to lighter stuff. but I am sure it will make him reassess and retreat. and that is a win.
I am just trying to cover all Bases legally .... so to stir the pot , what about the rifle over shotgun layout. say .22mag over 20gauge.....that qualifies as one gun....

guess I should have read to the bottom.... Aaron nailed it with the Savage over under.
