I’m planning to go deer hunting this year and I’m setting aside some cash to buy a rifle or shotgun, I’ve heard suggestions to get both, so I’m asking poal, what kind of gun would be best for deer hunting for someone that has very little experience with guns?

12 gauge pump with smooth and a rifled barrels . Cheap easy to clean dependable and you can hunt anything with it.

How often do you actually need to clean them?

Depends. Duck hunting I clean every trip because it always gets wet .deer hunting I clean once a season unless it gets wet or dirty
