Is that the whole state or just some counties? 

I had a 1100 once too .... anyone ever notice guns are alot like tractors... wished you would have never sold your favs?!?!:lol:

shotgun the whole state. too populated for rifle . i bought  my 1100  mom went with me way back in 1980 (was 10 yrs old) and i bought it new with an extra slug barrel and i still have it and looks still like new . always oiled and wiped down after every use .

bow season in right now . shotgun season not till December unless they have changed it  

i also have my dads model 1950's model 12 Winchester 12 gauge pump i like to play around with

That translates to me Ed is what I am preaching....

I just don't have the experience to comment on buck shot on game but would be a go to round for home defence.

I woulda thought Brian Ohio would have some open stuff where rifles are allowed? Maybe not but I know some serious 'tails are scored in OH with archery.

If you are confident the 20 will fire and put the slug where you aim,  That's the one to use.

Any slug 12, 16, 20 , or .410 in the boiler room will kill a whitetail  

I am not a fan of buckshot for deer.

 


 

thanks everyone, for confirming my thoughts!  As for shot placement, I recently was reminded to aim for just behind the shoulder of the far side of the deer... that’ll sure fire through both lungs and guarantee a kill.

don't see as many deer hunters around me like ya did 20 - 30 yrs ago they used to get 30 or so guys together and drive the deer from one country block and guys would set and wait to shoot when they were drove to them . they would really clean the deer out that way. then they would have a beer drinkin bash and butcher deer till wee hours of the mourning

Well, I went to the gun store for a load of ammo and he only way they had some to sell was with the purchase of a firearm...

 

Got me a CVA break action single shot 450 Bushmaster

1st shot low and right.  Made 8 click adjustments.  2nd shot, close to center of tape intersection!  Made 1 click adjustment.  3rd shot, right on top of #2.  It’s good enough for me!

 Note the 7 mag shots from my BIl.  He put it right through the 1/2” plate... I ALMOST did on the second consecutive shot.

for some reason they legalized THIS rifle only for shotgun zone.  It’s good for up to 300 yards.

Ya went to buy 20 ga slugs and came home with an elephant rifle?          The .450 bushmaster is close to to the old .45-70 government ballistics.

That is getting to be a real popular piece. I've heard of guys knocking em down at 200 yards. I use a single shot H & R 20 gauge with rifled slugs. I shotgun hunt just like bow hunting and seldom shoot past 40 yards. Good luck out there!
