Rick I'm pretty sure the three shell limit only applies to bird hunting.

I thought that it was 3 max for birds.  I could be wrong.

Correct, no more than 3 can fit in the gun for WINGSHOOTERS.

This doesn't apply to predators or large game.
Just make sure you follow the specific rules for shot size.

For instance, if you are not licensed for modern firearm hunting for deer or elk during an open deer/elk modern firearm season, you cannot be hunting with #00 or #01 buck....which is fine by my, #04 buck is my fav. 'yote load.
it's all in the regs....just difficult to find all the references.
I left it better than I found it...did you?
I hunt animals because veggies are too easy to stalk.

don't carry ANY birdshot on you though or friendly conservation officer could interpret that as "you're hunting birds."

I take my plug out for coyotes.  That way I have 5, 3" buckshot rounds ready.  I am considering buying a magazine extension to get me an extra two rounds.  It is nice having a little extra fire power.

I believe you can carry a shotgun that can hold more than three rounds for upland birds, but you just cant HAVE more than three rounds in.
I'd rather hunt with Dick Cheney, than ride with Ted Kennedy.

No you cant. I had a gamy check us last year. I had a double but he had the two guys i was with show the plugs. If you hunt yotes with a shotty during bird season i`d recomend keeping the plug in.

Nope your gun must be plugged so that only three shells will fit if you are bird hunting.

Because it's affordable, and effective, I use #2 "heavier than lead" for (small game) predators.

And I don't care what a game warden thinks, I'll fill my shotgun up with it. :rolleyes:

Until you KILL a given animal with a shotgun with "too many" shells in it, say a turkey or a grouse, you haven't broken any laws.

I can take my shotgun for a walk in the woods, filled with seven rounds of whatever I want, AND NO HUNTING LICENSE... and unless they can prove in a Court of Law, that I intended to break the law, or that I did... it's completely legal. :chuckle:

I carry a .22 pistol, and if asked, that's my grouse gun. ;)

Most days I don't intend on shooting anything but small game predators with my shotgun, and there's no way anyone will ever PROVE otherwise.

Here it is Rick,

Straight from the game book.

9. Hunting during modern firearm deer or
elk seasons: You may not hunt wildlife during
any modern firearm deer or elk season, with any
firearm 24 caliber or larger or containing slugs
or buckshot for big game, unless you have a
valid license, permit and tag for one of the following:
deer, elk, black bear, cougar, mountain
goat, bighorn sheep, or moose. During any
modern firearm deer or elk season, it is illegal to
hunt any wildlife after legal hunting hours. (See
exceptions to legal big game hunting hours on
page 57.)
10. Prohibited firearms/hunting methods
It is illegal to:
Hunt game birds with a shotgun capable of
holding more than three shells.
Checkin' wind and makin' smoke.
That's how I roll...
