Step 1...Get your Hunter Safety Course under your belt

Step 2 Purchase an 870 12 guage Remington Shotgun..then you can hunt turkey, squirrel boar and deer. mine hits the bulls eye at 100 yds with a slug...can also put 200 pellets in a turkey kill zone at 35 yds..Awesome gun can be purchased at Walmart.
Shotgun cost about 350.00 and you can always sell an 870 Remington if you ever quit hunting..Very nice reliable gun.
