Yeah I actually changed my mind and I think i'm gonna go with a new Savage 111, .30-06.
We have real thick brush here in TN so we need a decent sized gun. I'm tired of borroughing guns on hunting trips and i'm gonna buy my own rifle. I sold my 12gauge to my friend for financial reasons at the time lol

This is directly off of the ODNR website
10-gauge or smaller shotgun using one ball or one rifled slug per barrel (rifled shotgun barrels are permitted when using shotgun slug ammunition); or muzzleloading rifle .38 caliber or larger; or handgun with 5-inch minimum length barrel, using straight-walled cartridges .357 caliber or larger, or longbow, crossbow (draw weight limitations same as for Archery Season). Shotguns cannot be capable of holding more than three shells.
But that is ok with me, I love my shotgun

I went to buy a Remington 770, done all the research on it, knew the ballistics, and everything.
Guy at the counter handed it to me and said "that's a good gun, but we just got these in from Mossberg, you should check it out".
It feels more balanced and lighter than the Remington did, and turned out to be a tack driver round after round.
It does however kick like a rented mule!!

I'm down in east central Ga, right on the South Carolina border, but I travel to Chattanooga quite often, it's about a 3.5 hour drive.
For a weekend hunt though....
I'd be on the road in a heartbeat!

The same goes here, you get down here before the 1st of the year and I'll put you in a stand where I know you can knock one down.
Yeah you're about 4 1/2 hours away, ain't too bad. Now if I still lived in Douglasville GA I'd only be 2 hours away lol I may come down that way someday

Don't get me wrong, I kinda wish they were legal might make things a little more interesting to say the least

I like to pheasant hunt. Use a Mossberg 500 for it. The birds have been pretty scarce here the last couple of seasons.

i was planning on hunting for the first time this year, but i never have/had enough money as all of it is going towards bills and crap. I shoot bow and arrows though, im no dissing anyone but i think it requires more skill and is more challenging. I am also not a fan of tree stand hunting, id rather stalk. Like i said i dont wanna offend anyone with my opinion, your experiencing the outdoors either way lol Good huntin yall!!

I agree that stalking with a bow requires a TON more skill IMHO. Shooting from a ground blind, I can't get the deer to get any closer than 75 yards or so, so I guess a bow is out for me lol. Another thing that I am not too keen on is people who sit in a stand or blind and have other "push" the deer to them. That isn't particularly hunting IMO either
