I still hate having to use steel, it rules some of my favourite old guns out and doesn't do the business as well IMO.
The only sub gage where lead is still allowed is the 410 but are there other options?
What about a muzzle loading shotgun or a punt gun.
After a quick look at the regulations I can't find any reference to maximum size of bore or muzzle loaders for that matter, and shooting from a boat or canoe is allowed after opening weekend.
There is I suppose the daily bag limit to consider but 3 or 4 rowers, loaders, pluckers should fix that.
I am amused by the thought of a Rangers conversation regarding one.

Thats a chap called Snowden Slights. He was a market gunner from East Yorkshire, not far from where I came to NZ from. Very famous among wildfowlers
