Why I still hunt with both a shotgun & rifle

I’ve hunted hogs in river bottoms with buckshot and taken whitetails at 300 yards with my bolt gun. Both setups have their place—and their strengths. ✅ Shotgun pros: super versatile. Swap ammo, chokes, even barrels. Perfect for thick brush, small game, or places with firearm restrictions. 💡 Rifle pros: unmatched accuracy and range. If you’re glassing big woods or open fields, nothing beats a scoped centerfire. 🔔 Key difference: range. But that shorter shotgun range is why it’s still legal in many crowded public lands. I run a Trulock Boar Blaster choke for close-range pigs and a .308 with glass for long sits. Anyone else split your hunts this way? #hunting #huntinggear #shotgunvrsrifle #huntingtips #Outdoors
