Deer hunting in Victoria with a 12 gauge

[Hunt2eat]

Hey,

Cant find any reference online about deer hunting in Vic with a shotgun.

I thought I had seen something about minimum cartridge and scope requirements but cant find it.

Can anyone assist?

Thanks,

They don't list shotguns, only rifles and smoothbore guns. Rifled shotguns aren't legal under this law

Minimum 20ga., 245gn slugs only and must have sights, not a bead. No requirements regarding velocity or energy.

Unless you are searching for the word "shotgun", which most people would be.
