Default Running shots...

I have been invited to go with a friend on a hunt Sunday with dogs. I assume the deer will be moving at a good clip when they pass...

I don't feel confident shooting a moving deer with my scoped 30-30 even though I can print 1 1/2 inches at 100 yards offhand. I am not a bad shot offhand with my 44 blackhawk and if he is close I would be confident that I could take him. However, I am most confident with my 20 guage and slugs. I can shoulder and point shoot into a stationary pie plate at 50 yards and I dust about 80% of the clay I aim at.

So...what should I do? Keep the 44 on my hip and shotgun in hand...leave the 30-30 at home?

Help!

Is truth absolute or is it relative?
