Shotguns for deer hunting

[nige]

Going to be deer hunting for the first time ever this year. I have a Winchester 16ga or Stoger 12ga. Which one should I use?

[mrklean]

Is it tough to find 16ga slugs?

[fr0sty]

Either one a rifled barrel?

Go with the 12 gauge! More selections of slugs to choose from.

Federal still makes them and I also think winchester still makes them.

I have a about 30 of them.

The 16ga is a great slug for deer.

Chances are the 16 is not rifled as I have never seen one and I have searched for many years with no luck and I wish they did make one casue its a great slug.

I would take both out and see which gun shoots best I would also think that you could get a rifled choke tube for the stoger and make it that much more accurate.

Thanks for the replies. Going to test both of them next weekend.
