A lot of good advice in this thread. I've always been partial to my Ithaca XL900 20 ga with my deer slayer barrel. I use Brenneke slugs and have been well satisfied hunting in places where you have to use a shotgun. 20 ga will do a fine job in taking a whitetail. A 20 ga with interchangeable barrels is a fine weapon start to out a young lad with.
As for 20ga, I harvested my first deer with my dad's old Ranger 20 ga double barrel using a slug. Severed the spine and drt. That old 20 ga double harvested many pheasants, rabbits and squirrels as well. My dad bought it from Sears and Roebuck prior to WWII sometime in the 1930's. I still have it.
