How many of the folks here that are knocking buckshot have ever used it properly or at all?

Buckshot used within 45 yards is excellent for deer, I prefer slugs myself, but myself and all my relatives over the years have killed a ton of deer with buckshot, 95% of them did not require a follow up shot.

The only people I have ever seen knock buckshot were fools who were taking shots at 60 yards or more and wondering why the deer keep going! Do not get me wrong, buckshot can work out to maybe 70 yards, but it is a low percentage shot at that distance, 45 yards or less it is hard to beat.
