I got a bow and a 30-06. Looking to get something for hunting hog during small game season. Some one told me you have to use a slug to hunt hog during small game. I have no experience with shotguns. Wanted to know what you all suggest for a shot gun I can hunt hogs and turkey with. What gauge and any suggestions on a make/model that is a good all around gun and not too pricey.

Last year I used a 20ga single shot with slugs. You can use slugs or buck shot. You need to find what you are most comfortable with.

What do you consider "pricey"? M12Gunboy had a Remington 870 12ga w/scope for $400, which is deal and a half. Check it out:

I can't believe it ain't sold already, I'd sure buy it if I had the cash.
