Don't bust his chops too bad fellows, he is young!!! Think about your first kill, probably didn't have the internet or for some of us even cell phones...

As far as buckshot and deer, it is very effective if a fellow knows what he is doing...It's been a Southern tradition since before the Revolutionary War...If you don't like it, fine, deer have been lost and wounded by plenty of other weapons as well, by hunters that didn't know their limitations...
