I was referring to shooting deer at 1 to 100 yards with buckshot vs. slug. Well, it is just like shooting rabbits, squirrels and/or wingshooting ( even if that sounds insane). Sometimes you just have to use your instincts, if you practice shooting, know your gun, know your limits, and practice. You can hit deer effectively. Hitting a moving target is not hard. In Iowa, we grow up shooting birds, I learned to acquire a moving target, aim, fire. I am not saying I am a sniper with a 12 ga, I shoot at running deer at max, 50 yards. Just like bird hunting. Also, us "Bubba Rednecks" prefer Busch Light...
