When hunting their are many different guns and bows you can use but i'm going to be talking about the differences between the shotgun and the rifle. I have personally used both of these guns and I like them both very much but the way you hunt hast to be very different. When using a shotgun you're probably hunting either squirrels or going dove hunting but you can also use them to go deer hunting if you use slugs which is a time of ammo for them but the only problem is they don't go very far so you haft to get very close to the deer which can be very hard but it can also be fun trying to be really quiet and sneaking up on a deer. With a rifle you're most likely going to be doing big game hunting which is like deer and hogs and animals like that. The rifle is really nice when deer hunting because you can be on the other side of a 300 arc field and still be able to take the deer down. When I do deer hunting I normally use my 30 06 which is a very powerful rifle and when I do squirrel and dove hunting I use my 12 gauge shotgun. Both guns are great for hunting and either one would get the job done.
I personally don't use a shotgun when hunting. I prefer rifles even in a close quarters situation. My favorite rifle for deer and large game is a good old Remington 700 chambered in .308. for squirrels, I use a marlin tube fed bolt action .22. both are very fun.
