A shotgun is not an effective long range weapon. If you're in the woods, a shotgun works well for deer hunting. I used a Mossberg 500A 12 guage for a very long time with excellent success.
I enjoy shooting clay pigeons with it, too. I just bought a 7mm-08 for a deer gun, but haven't messed with it, yet. If you want to go for deer, and you're in an open area, don't get a shotgun.
