eldeguello, guess we can agree to disagree on that subject (foster slugs being marginal). I've also seen deer that run a long way after being shot with a slug. But that was a result of poor shot placement, not the projectile. No different than an arrow or a rifle, if you don't put it where it is suppose to go then it probably isn't going to go down quickly. I've killed 9 deer with a foster slug, all out of a 20 guage. And only 1 of those ever moved after I shot (not a single one was a spine shot). Not marginal if you ask me. I can't comment on buck shot, never used it. I'm referring to 20 and 12ga, not 410 slugs.
