bigmoss Posted December 6, 2005 Report Share Posted December 6, 2005 Hey guys I might be going on a hunt in the US where the last 3 days is a shotgun season changing from bow. What would you guys recommend for a good but FAIR priced 12guage for deer, keeping in mind I will probably only use it 3 days a year IF THAT, so no need for the cream of the crop. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AJ Posted December 6, 2005 Report Share Posted December 6, 2005 Re: Shotgun for Deer, which one ? That's easy. This one is the cream of the crop and is modestly priced to boot. The H&R Ultra Slug Hunter is a sweet shooting slug gun. Here is a new one for $200 USA shipped. I don't know what they go for in Canada. Good luck in IL.

bigmoss Posted December 7, 2005 Author Report Share Posted December 7, 2005 Re: Shotgun for Deer, which one ? Never seen that make here in Canada at all, will have a look. I was also looking at a Remington 870 Express Deer Shotgun. Have decided 100% yet on IL but looking good hehe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We could set up milk jugs about 150-200 yards off and hit them almost every time. Great guns. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bigmoss Posted December 7, 2005 Author Report Share Posted December 7, 2005 Re: Shotgun for Deer, which one ? Are the shot distances for a shot gun and a good Muzzle Loader considered the same, I am aloud either in this area ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you spend enough on a ML you'll have a good 200yard gun, but then the ultra slugger can probibly shoot pretty close to that for just over $200. For the $$ I would go for the Ultra slugger you'll get a high quality good shooting gun that you could put a ML barrel on later. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tominator Posted December 7, 2005 Report Share Posted December 7, 2005 Re: Shotgun for Deer, which one ? Might consider the Rem. 870 Express or the Moss 500. Both good guns, both accurate with a slug barrel, both easily adapt to smooth bore. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest littlered Posted December 7, 2005 Report Share Posted December 7, 2005 Re: Shotgun for Deer, which one ? i'd defiently go with the slug gun, muzzle loaders can be a real pain to sight in and get good groups. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RDNKHNTR77 Posted December 11, 2005 Report Share Posted December 11, 2005 Re: Shotgun for Deer, which one ? I broke in my Remington 870 rifled barrel this year and not 20 minutes into the season shot this 9 point. he didnt run 30 yds. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WNY_Whitetailer Posted December 16, 2005 Report Share Posted December 16, 2005 Re: Shotgun for Deer, which one ? Seeing as you are only going to use it 3 days a season I would definetly go for the H&R Ultra Slugger in 12 or 20 Gauge... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
