Nope.... from the Wildlife Regulations.

Items prohibited for hunting all wildlife

"7- A shotgun of a gauge greater than 10 gauge."



I did make a mistake earlier. A legal "shotgun" for hunting big-game must be greater than .410 gauge....




This is where the available legislation seems to define a "shotgun" in Alberta for the purpose of hunting big-game

"In Alberta, A "Rifle" is a "Shotgun" when the caliber is between .411 and .775 "


I wonder what Fritze is going to have for lunch when giving his opinion to this question.
