Used shotguns in decent shape are easy to find, should be similar in Canada. Just back from a MI uplands hunt. The younger Son likes vintage guns. We brought two older pump 16 Gage's, a Model 12 & 37. They worked most excellent with the 4 grouse we bagged.

If you don't mind lining up ammo ahead of time, don't overlook the 16 ga, plenty of used ones around.
