Application / Regulation advice Maverick 88 security hunting

So im new to firearms (like brand new) and I was gifted a mavy 88 security model, fixed smooth barrel 12 gauge (what i was told) and im on a budget, but plan on taking my hunting course for this year's seasons. Just wondering what could I humanely go for with this shotgun? What kind of game would work out?

Upland hunting. Grouse hunting rabbits. Close range stuff. I have a Mossberg 500 with 18" cyl bore. Took plenty of grouse with it. You ain't going duck hunting with it. But for trail birds you'll be fine
