Yes, that can happen with current firearms used in Alberta now, but I only see it increasing, not decreasing if only shotguns were to be used.
Most of the states that employ a shotgun only regulation are heavily forested and ranges are usually quite short. I don't think you'll be seeing that reg coming to Colorado or Montana anytime soon.
You speak of liberal governments like we'll be seeing a succession of them in the foreseeable future and that there will be a repeated and continuing effort to eliminate firearms. I don't think the current minority government will have much success in eliminating firearms and likely will be heading for another election before their term is done. They lost the popular vote Canada wide last time and could do worse the next time.
Let's not "shoot ourselves in the foot" and opine about how to hunt in a world where our firearms are being confiscated. Put your effort into making sure that doesn't happen.

Discussion is good, it's all just food for thought, also the Libs and so call Progressives have been in power in this country more often than not.
