Incidentally, a good friend of mine anchors his deer every year with his shotgun by employing the high shoulder shot. They
never go anywhere but down.
"If you cannot shoot a rifle with the accuracy needed to drop a deer where it stands, by all means use a shotgun."
Iassume you mean "you" in the general sense, and are not specifically implying that I can't shoot - no need to get personal, right?
I was not getting any more personal then you sir,
"You want a rifle so you can shoot out to 300 yds instead of 100 yds." I would not make a statement about your ability as a shooter unless I knew you and I do not.
By the was I have also dropped a deer where it was standing with my shotgun, I prefer the accuracy of the rifle at any range.
