I've used slugs and buckshot hunting deer and feral hogs in the eastern part of the state and in the big thicket area. Out to the west and south 200-300 yard shots are very common. The advice that eagle eye gave you is sound, just remember that hunting here is Texas differs from each region. Drop me a email if you want to discuss this, I'm active with a couple of youth hunting groups and do firearms training for beginners.

Get yourself the remington model 1100, its semi auto. The shells you will need are as follows and you can get them in steel shot, keep in mind steel weighs less then lead, making the bullets a little slower but since they are harder hold a tighter pattern. Turkey, 3 1/2" Shell Length w/ 4,5,6 Shot with a Full Choke Duck, 2 3/4" Shell Length w/4,5 Shot with Modified Choke Grouse,quail, Rabbit 2 3/4", 7 1/2, 6 Shot Improved Choke Deer and Wild Boar and both use the same Slug, get yourself a good slug scope, Use the Foster Style Slugs. Your Gun Should Be In 12 Gauge. They have plenty of different loads and choices for any game your looking to take. Other then that do your research. CLOTHING, GEAR, AMMO, and GUNS. Also before you go hunting do some research on the Species to find out what they like to eat as well as their habitat. The only other advice I can give you is stick by an expierienced and successful hunter and before you know it you will be taking game like it was your job. Good Luck!

But for shooing rabbits etc, try and get yourself a .22 rim fire and use hollow point bullets, this is a great all-round low powered rifle with no kick back that is extremely good for shooting rabbits, squirrels and even Turkey. It is very cheap, and a step up from your air rifle. But a shotgun would be excellent for quail, duck and goose, I would suggest using No.4 BBs as your ammo for your shotgun.

The best I can tell you here is to get in touch with friends and or relatives who are hunters and "pick their brain" for local knowledge and visit local hunting supply stores and learn all you can. Hunting is a wonderful experience and will give you a new appreciation of nature, the outdoors and the animals God has provided us with. Good hunting and practice safe gun handling.
