RE: buck shot
Oh and as far as wounding deer, if you use it within it's effective range it works very well. You probably stand about as much chance of wounding one with a slug gun as you would with buckshot if you didn't know your equipment or didn't practice. I know people that hunt with buckshot and have not wounded deer with it. However they know what it is and isn't capable of and adhere to that.
You can easily wound a deer with a slug gun if you don't know the trajectory or where the accuracy drops off and shoot beyond that.
