I got my first buck last year with a horton. I kill things that are worth eating. I'm not looking for a trophy, just a full freezer.

I just picked up some 147gr. subsonic 9mm hp's. Now I need to make an adapter to put an oil filter on the glock. I don't want to chase this spring's steaks around the neighborhood again.

Any advice on a decent shotgun for small game hunting? And a deer rifle? Especially if you have one for sale/trade..

20ga with a good tight choke for small game, slugs, for larger.
if you gotta use a 12ga then youre just a ---- shot.
rifle? i prefer the 30-06 over the 30-30, punches a more accurate hole. can also use a 6mm (.243) (remington 6mm, 1 in 13.4 twist) but that ---- is soo fast/hostile, itll explode like a pipe bomb upon bone impact.

30/06 is a damn good gun all around. love mine but its up in utah. gotta find a dealer who will ship it for cheap for me. lol that high point 9mm i made a post about a couple months ago was actually pretty good, havent shot it in a while but the last time i did i was killing goldfish at a pond on my friends ex's land. only problem was if it was too deep the bullet will explode and just make a big *** splash. gotta wait till they are almost on top.

---- the 12 gauge is the ----. you dont even have to aim. just point and kill. leave the riffles to actually having to aim. shotguns are for just pointing and killin

In this day and age is it really so necessary to go track something and kill it, to "maybe" eat it? Even though everyone I know who hunts most definitely eats the entirety of the animal, but still there are supermarkets. Maybe it's just that I see using a gun against an animal with non-projectile weapons is cheating, ---- your gun, hunters who use bow-and-arrow are badass, that is sport. Similarly I fish, I don't enjoy the people that trip out to the gulfstream and hook up on sails and butcher them all, even those under sized. Same with spearfishing, which is the baddest of all badass sports, if you are using a spear gun and you aren't going for a fish that will pull you down for a good couple hundred feet (Amber Jack are a good example) then you sir. are a -----. Freediving hawaiian slinging deep water reef hunters FTW.
