Shotgun Deer Hunting with Hevi-Shot HOG WILD

Don't want to start an argument with you slamfire, but it is plainly clear to me that the reg is written to disallow the use of automatic weapons.....

A piece of shot is clearly not a bullet, not by any stretch of the imagination...... and the reg posted clearly states "any wildlife", so by your interpretation, you would not be allowed to hunt anything with a shotgun unless using a slug...... that includes waterfowl, upland game, rabbits etc.......
 
A muzzleloader can fire a round ball which is essentially a piece of shot which is essentially a projectile or bullet. Reg's are definitely open to interpretation. Just seem to recall someone mentioning in a hunter training course the use of buckshot on big game was brought up and the instructor said it was a no no according to the wording of the reg's. :rey2 :p

Alberta reg's differentiate between big game and game birds -

Yes, and the section you quote on "more than one bullet" is in the general prohibitions which apply to both big game and game birds. I interpret this to mean one cartridge, one trigger pull. If not, all bird hunting with shot would be disallowed and the rules would be contradictory to themselves as it's also illegal to use a load with a single projectile on migratory waterfowl. Curious though is their poor choice/use of the term "bullet" throughout the regs.

Great video! Thanks.
Seems like a great deer load. I did read Dixie Triball was more effective on bears but it doesn't seem available in Canada.
 
I'm Oztrayan an even I can rekon that means Auto or Semi auto, Which has a Switch that can be flicked to Create a Automatic firing rifle. ( I seen it in a movie once)

Shotgun cartridges are the Bullet, insider is 'shot' or a Slug.

still, Loved the Video... The Aussies are spun out an pretty impressed with your Shot gun skills OP
 
Great video, impressed with the penetration of those rounds. (And I've only shot one deer with buckshot, if I was to shotgun hunt again I think I would use slugs.)

Cheers

The word "Shot" when discussing firearms is always plural.

"2
a. plural shot : something propelled by shooting; especially : small lead or steel pellets especially forming a charge for a shotgun
b. a metal sphere of iron or brass that is heaved in the shot put..." - from websters

Shot is always referred to in plural, or as a part of the plural.

You wouldn't say "ow, I have a buckshot in my leg" you'd say "ow, I have A PIECE OF buckshot in my leg". It's always referred to as a part of the whole. Shot, by definition, is a COLLECTION of round balls.

A round ball fired from a muzzle loader is just that. A round ball. Not shot.

There is no way to interpret that regulation as a restriction on the use of buckshot, if one knows the difference between shot and bullet.
 
Yes, but not in all. Its legal in Ontario.

Isn't buckshot illegal for big game hunting in some jurisdictions? For example, Alberta hunting regulations state -

"It is unlawful to -

...use...a firearm that is capable of firing more than one bullet during one pressure of the trigger..."
