I have a red dot sight but I wouldn't it put it on my shotgun. I like iron sights because they are rugged, don't fog up and don't require batteries. There are truglo snap on bead sites that pick up a lot of light at dawn/dusk. I realize people will put high quality 4x scopes on shotguns and shoot slugs at 100+ yards but I guess I would wonder why they don't use a rifle at that point.
Maybe they are in a firearm restricted area? Maybe they can't afford another gun? Maybe their eyesight isn't as good as it used to be... there are lots of reasons I can think of.....

Having poor eyesight doesn't justify a scoped shotgun over a scoped rifle. I like shotguns but I don't see why people want to turn them into long range rifles. At longer ranges the slugs really start dropping and the wind pushes them around. I say this as someone who owns a shotgun with a rifled barrel.
Yes, to checking game regs, and using them to your advantage. I have property on Whidbey Island, shotgun only, fun way to hunt.
