Hello everyone!

I'm not only new to this forum, but I am new to hunting as well. I did hunt as a child,but as an adult I haven't been the woods hunting as much as I would like to have been.

I have been invited to hunt some private land over Thanksgiving Holiday. They require the use of a shotgun with buckshot. I have no clue where to start on getting set up to make the most of this trip. We will be hunting out of tree stands so I will be able to wait for a close shot.

As far as I know there are not restrictions on what shot I can use, I do know we can't use slugs. It must be buckshot, but the size of the buck does not matter.

The gun I'm using is one I have had since I was a Teenager, its a Stevens savage 77d 12ga, 2 3/4" pump.

I would appreciate any advice on this.
