Unclear about shotgun plugs..

[Drastic711]

Two in the tube one in chamber(total three) for any hunting,
even skeet or trap allow one and second if shooting doubles...there is almost no need for shotgun to hold more than two in magazine(tube) around here...

How about brush clearing? Had a lot of fun with the plug out and a turkey choke in

How about combat shotgun shooting...back in the day I did that once a week during the goods weather as it was an outdoor range. It was great fun and my 870 held 10 rounds with one up the spout for a total of 11 !

Another "Stupid" question, in the past, did this only apply to migratory bird hunting, or has it always applied to all shotgun hunting?

I'm not sure about the chronology, but the three shell rule for migratory birds is a federal law (since the feds do migratory birds) and I think it stems from the Migratory Birds Treaty and therefore applies throughout Canada and the US. Whereas all other wildlife is up to each province and state to set hunting regulations for. So it's possible that some provinces and US states shotguns are only limited to 3 rounds for migratory bird hunting, and can be used at higher capacities for hunting other animals, though in Ontario the rule applies to all shotgun hunting. That may be why racer55's link only mentions migratory bird hunting, since that's the only federal/nationwide ban on >3-shell capacity shotguns.

Well I have lived in Ottawa since 1993 and 3 shell rule has applied for small game and big game since that point in time.

Well how about another (stupid?) question, why can we use more than 3 shells in a rifle and not in a shotgun?

So you don't clear out an entire flock as it passes by,,,,,
