How many shotguns does a man need?

They are having a big sale at Bass Pro next week. I can get 100(mfg refund) + 150 (Bass Pro discount) on browning gold hunters 3" 12ga 26" barrel. So I figure I would get it for around 600 dollars. I have a gold hunter now and deer gold stalker, and two 870's. But man thats a good discount. They want 900 for the stalker 3.5". How many does a man need?

Agreed, just need one (Rem.870 pump for me) - with a couple of barrels for various applications.

James I am surprised you don't sell all your guns but one rifle and one shotgun, the way you talk all the time.

Va7, you only need one cause they will only let you have one bullet.

As many as you can afford and why not have a variety that one enjoys. I love MY guns. I love collecting. Just add another to the collection that's all.

Have fun collecting and shooting. I know I am!

Your right sir! When I shoot at something it only takes one to do the job

How may Shotguns does a man need? ALL OF THEM!!!

BC I could probably do that. Most of my hunting from here on out will be deer hunting and a little duck hunting. I suppose at least one more elk hunt. Maybe a Moose and black bear hunt if my Nephew can get his ducks in a row and get ready to go. I am getting sort of burned out at the reloading bench and my 7600 30-06 will handle all my needs. But I am still a gun nut so I would quess they will stay around for a while yet. To tell the truth though, I am not much of a shotgun man. I could be happy with a synthetic Browning BPS or an 870 Remington. I would keep the old NEF as a pick-up gun since I already have it. By the way, thats the only shotgun I have right now as I traded off my Pump. Will pick up another before Duck Season though.. Rifles and handguns are more my thing Also I am a rabid knife collector.
