RE: 00 buckshot or a slug
Slug if you have the equipment and you are safe. Buckshot if you are hunting in dense cover and you still need to be safe. I shoot both using different guns and it all depends if I am hunting one area or another area. One area I always use buckshot because the cover and bushes are so dense. Another area the woods are a bit more open and I am adjacent to a field...so a slug is more favorable and the weapon of choice,.
