What would you all prefer to hunt with? I live in a shotgun only area and was wondering what others like and why?
Myself I bought a 20ga slug gun for the upcoming season,lighter less recoil and will do every thing a 12ga will do in the areas I hunt.(longest shot is 125yds)
We can also use our muzzy's for the shotgun hunt and I do but I wanted a new gun.
I use a 20 gauge for pheasants, quail and chukar. I use a 12 gauge for turkeys, ducks and geese. I don't hunt deer or any large game with a shotgun but would probably use a 12 gauge for that if I had to.

I have have seen a 20 ga. get it done on deer numerous times and if i were in the market for a slug gun it would be a NEF single shot 20 ga. w/ a rifled slug barrel.

12ga. for everything, I would rather be too big, than too small (no pun intended). But in some times we will have 20 guys on a drive, and if it is a long drive, I will switch to thw 20ga.
