thanks for the welcome and help...I got my tag tonite(wedseday) and some buckshot and slugs and I'll see what works best at the range fri before going out saterday hunting....I'm selling my 870mag and getting a slug gun after the season...I'm just looking to get out in the woods and enjoy myself if I get a very close shot under 40 yards I'll take it..if not I'll just watch them...I'm a old bowhunterI'll wait toget a good shot
