Question:
While hunting coyotes in California with a shotgun, am I limited to only three shells in my shotgun like when hunting waterfowl? (Mick M.)
Answer:
No, you may take coyotes and other non-game species with a shotgun capable of holding no more than six shells total - five in the magazine and one in the chamber.
No person may possess a shotgun capable of holding more than six shells total while hunting (Fish and Game Code, Section 2010). In the case of coyotes, you would be restricted to non-lead shot or slugs within the condor range. When taking any game animals, you are restricted to a three shot capacity. But for non-game species, like coyote, the three shot capacity does not apply.
