Ok, so I'm new to the area as of this year and will be hunting some small game and deer here in early muzzleloader and shotgun regular season. (I'm used to rifles!) My scoped slug barrel for my Mossberg should arrive this week to cover me for regular season. Suggestions for a good rifled slug in 12 gauge would be appreciated. I'll be between my .300WM and .45-70 for the few days I get back in 2C.

Where are decent public areas to hunt? I'd prefer not having folks sitting in my lap and I'm willing to hike a bit to make that happen. (used to hiking .5-1 mile in 2C) I'm between Chester Springs and Pottstown so French Creek State Park and SGL #43 look to be the closest, but are they any good?

Now I know no one wants to give away their favorite spots so I'm just looking for some suggestions to get me started being new to the area.

If you don't want to reply in an open forum, PM's are good! Many thanks, y'all!
