Hi Drea, it's not called the Uplander for nothing. This is a good gun for bird hunting. If you're looking for something for deer hunting, I would consider a pump action. Pump-action shotguns are the most popular deer-hunting shotgun since they hold multiple shells. These shotguns are excellent for deer hunting because they allow you to eject and cycle rounds without moving your hands out of position, which is convenient if you’ve lined up your shot already.
A double-barrel is a pretty rare type of shotgun for deer hunting, but some people prefer it.
These guns are relatively expensive, but they offer excellent balance and an effortless swing, perfect for quickly aiming at a deer. One of the downsides of a double-barrel shotgun for deer hunting is that it only holds two shots at a time. You’ll have to reload, which may cost you your target.
Stay safe & have a great day!

Absolutely!!!

Hi Drea and welcome. Yes Sir it will. Providing you select the right shotshell for your game, it will work no issue for any game animal in the US. Cheers, stay safe and enjoy!
