Hey everyone,
Going to get a deer later on this year, and as much as firearms have been a part of my life for quite a while, this will be my first time putting 4 legged wild meat in the freezer
I'm not very familiar at all with shotguns, other than my Mossberg 500 with 18" smoothbore barrel. I would also like to keep cost as economical as possible, not looking for a high end custom gun.
Few questions I guess....
1. What is a good shotgun for a a deer (whitetail)?
2. Do I absolutely "need" a rifled barrel?
3. Scope vs. Open Sights?
4. Anything else I'm missing?
Thanks!
