This is just a question I ask because I have too much time on my hands.
Would it be wise for me to geta shotgun for deer hunting? I hear that shotgun only areas are springing up, so I was wondering if the future would demand that I need a shotgun?
Or is there any reason at all I should get a shotgun for big game hunting (four legged, not birds)?
Iwould say that it you do not have a current need/requirement to use a shotgun, and do not bird hunt, then I would not to bother with getting one yet and just keep using your rifle. I have used my 870 with slug barrel when hunting in a shotgun/ML only zonethe last 4 years, but will use my savage 10ML-II this year, as it if far more accurate, and I like the flexibility of being able to take a 150-200 yard shot with confidence if presenting.
