Hello,

I am new to hunting deer, and have been reading alot of articles, but wanted to post for more information. I will be hunting white tail this fall and recently purchased the Remington Express 870 Deer Gun (http://www.remington.com/firearms/shotguns/870expdr.htm) Its the 20" smoothbore 12 gauge. What would be th recommended shot for this gun when hunting deer? And effectively how far away can I be, what would the range be that would still allow for an ensured kill? I chose this gun mainly because of the price, it was only $326 brand new oppsed to a rifle, which is closer to $1000. Thanks in advance for any advice...
