You can Hunt the Game you mentioned, plus a lot more you didn’t mention.*

You can use a Remington 870 Express to hunt just about anything….. I am assuming you are talking about this 870 here…
Yes there are dozens of variations of 870′s… Turkey models with camo and short barrels, deer guns with rifled barrels, field models with 28 inch barrels and police models with short barrels and long magazine tubes….
The Regular run of the mill Remington 870 Express can do all of these jobs. yes the specialized models do have advantages – but what I have learned over the years is if you have a standard field model, equip it with the right choke, practice and learn the shotguns strengths and weaknesses it can accomplish most hunting jobs…..

When using your 870 for deer make sure you have a Improved Choke screwed in the barrel and also use a fosters style slug or rifled slug.
Do not use a sabot slug unless you get yourself a full rifled barrel.
A great shooting slug I have used and recomend is a Winchester Slug super X 3inch at 1700fps
Waterfowl use a Mod choke and upland birds on close jump shots a IMP or MOD choke and on far jumping upland a FULL choke,
Good Luck.
