Q. Is a shotgun a good gun to use for my 1st time deer hunting?
A. A shotgun firing deer slugs will work fine for hunting deer provided you keep your shots to under 100 yards or so and practice a bit with the same kind of slugs you’ll be using in the field.
Q. What are the advantages/disadvantages of a shotgun.
A. The big disadvantage to using a shotgun to hunt deer is that with most guns you’re limited to around 100 yards with slugs due to accuracy. So if you will be hunting in open terrain where shots will be over 100 yards its not an ideal choice. However depending on the game laws in your state (game management region/area) it may be your only choice. As far as advantages go, shotguns point well, they’re cheap, and they have plenty of power. Additionally because of the nature of a slug, they won’t travel nearly as far if you miss your target (which is why some states limit gun season to shotguns).
