Yes, you can use them, Yes scopes too! You can also use bow and arrow, knife, club, brass knuckles, frying pan, old chairs, even your teeth in some cases as long as you have had your shots

Yes you can use them, and mounted scopes too. Shotguns are just considered a modern firearm.

For Big Game the one restriction they have is on caliber/guage. A 10 and 12 guage can be used for anything in the state. BUT, a 16 and 20 guage can be used for only Deer, Bear, and Cougar. If hunting Elk you must use a 10 or 12 ga. For all calibers you can use either slugs or #1 and larger buckshot. You can use either a rifled barrel or a smooth bore, no restriction on that part.

For small game, there aren't restrictions on caliber/gauge or size of shot. There might be on Turkey, but I am not a turkey hunter so I dont know. For example you can use T shot in a 20 guage for coyote's if you want.

ok thanks and i dont get that. they build .410 that can take down a bear and are accurate out to 200 yards. they are pretty much a rifle with a lighterweight bullet and a 3 1/2 inch or 4 inch shell with a rifled barrel

How about a link to the 410 Shotgun with 4" shells that will take down a bear at 200yrds I am always intrested in something new.  I used to use 444Marlin brass for brass 410 Shotshells.
