This is important because if you are on a budget and wish to hunt more than big game, a shotgun with slugs or buckshot then switch to bird shot for avian fair.

Now, there’s an option I hadn’t considered: Shotgun vs. rifle.
I’ll have to further research but I’ll presume there’s a diff. ‘season’ for each??
Oooooh yes! Hunting laws vary from state to state, season to season and even time of day. Here in Tn. you can get in trouble with the game wardens if you use centerfire ammunition from 30 minutes after sunset to 30 minutes before sunrise.
So it behooves you to do your research on your states official internet page and bone up on your states regulations. And don't always rely on your hunting buddies opinions. They may be well meaning but they can be wrong and dame wardens tend to be a little fussy. Regulations seem to get changed every time the state legislation convenes.
