MichiganHunter Posted February 17, 2007 Report Share Posted February 17, 2007 Hay dont forget that a shot gun is an amazing weapon for deer hunting....i have a mosseburg 695...the bolt action...using remington corelocks i can comfortably shoot deer out to a range of 130 yard, I droped a 270 pound 10pt buck 148in buck at 120 yard this last season...i also recomend a shot gun for hunting in heavy brush and thick timber.

AJ Posted February 17, 2007 Report Share Posted February 17, 2007 Re: SHOT GUNS ALSO GOOD FOR DEER True, some states and jurisdictions mandate the use of shotguns with slugs and some areas are buckshot only for firearm use for deer hunting. Lets see the pics of your 270# 10 pt. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jeramie Posted February 20, 2007 Report Share Posted February 20, 2007 Re: SHOT GUNS ALSO GOOD FOR DEER Certain areas of Oklahoma are shotgun only. You have to draw into those areas. If I ever do draw in ill be buying a barrel for either my Mossberg 500 or 835 ultimag. Those areas house big deer so I hope I draw in!
