It seems you are a novice, so who knows what the future holds ?

Hit the nail on the head. Complete novice here, which is why I requested some expert opinions.
The general consensus here sounds like the 870. The only thing I'm thinking is that it might be a few years until I actually get a chance to go deer hunting, seeing as my brother is the one who does it and I kinda need him to get back into it for me to be able to.
And seeing as I definitely am a novice, i'm just wondering if a pump shotgun is going to be a good deal more difficult for trap then an over under. In the stations i was consistently getting about 5/10... obviously not very good, though it was my first time.
That was with an over/under, and I'm just hesitant to go with the 870 because I think it will add more difficulty. I'm quite torn here! Though for the price it seems like my best option is the 870 since it will allow me to do a lot more in the future
