Yes it would be foolish to use a shot gun. I was just using this example of the variance in legalities. What's legal doesn't have to make sense.

I am unsure where it says it in the FWCA this is just what was told to the class by Cathy Richardson the senior wildlife tech for the MNR Guelph district

I believe that even if I shot it on my own land, I would still have to pay royalties on a pelt would I not?

You wouldn't want to shoot a beaver against the water with a .22 due to risk of ricochet...

It happens. That I can assure you but yes at a rather shallow angle. Being young and stupid at one time I watched a buddy skip one .22 bullet three times across a lake. He was attempting to be scientific and see if one brand shot further than another.
