we have beat this horse to death several times.
buckshot is like rifles,they make all different ones.some states don' t allow buckshot,others do.

as for taking deer or hogs with buckshot,I have taken,in excess of 200 deer and several 100 hogs in my life.I would say 75% of both were with buckshot.so I will say;buckshot is deadly and has it' s place.[:-][8D]
