What would you all prefer to hunt with? I live in a shotgun only area and was wondering what others like and why?
Myself I bought a 20ga slug gun for the upcoming season,lighter less recoil and will do every thing a 12ga will do in the areas I hunt.(longest shot is 125yds)
We can also use our muzzy's for the shotgun hunt and I do but I wanted a new gun.

When I bird hunt its mostly pheasants, quail, chuckar, a 20ga is perfect, I do also turkey hunt, and would want a 12ga in that instance.

Slugs I use a 12ga, but if I were to buy a new slug gun it would be a 20ga, probably benelli.

I enjoy the 20ga

I use a 20 gauge for pheasants, quail and chukar. I use a 12 gauge for turkeys, ducks and geese. I don't hunt deer or any large game with a shotgun but would probably use a 12 gauge for that if I had to.

I have have seen a 20 ga. get it done on deer numerous times and if i were in the market for a slug gun it would be a NEF single shot 20 ga. w/ a rifled slug barrel.

I have a Rem 11-87 12ga with a smooth barrel for birds and rifle barrel for deers.

12 gauge for waterfowl; I would go 20 for inland birdies. (Except turkey.)

20 gauge for deer 12 gauge for birds

12ga. for everything, I would rather be too big, than too small (no pun intended). But in some times we will have 20 guys on a drive, and if it is a long drive, I will switch to thw 20ga.

The only time I'll grab my 12ga is for deer (slug gun) and ducks. Other than that I'm shooting my 20ga or even a .410.
