The easiest way to explain it is that here in Virginia when using dogs its almost like bird hunting. The deer are moving warp speed past you and you usually are in thick cover where shots are not long. It would almost be impossible with a slug in some ofthe places we hunt to use a slug because of all the brush and trees. I'm from Iowa originally and the landscape here in Virginia isn't like the midwest. I know it sounds strange but once you try it you are hooked.
