Redkid, What choke you using that's pretty big spread of pellets especially if it was 00 buck.There are 9 pellets in a load.
I agree with everything except the 9 pellets in a load. My Federal 3.5" mag OO buckshot has 18 pellets, so having a few outside of the original target deer doesn't sound so unheard of. Legal or otherwise, taking ONE deer at a time is the PROPER way to hunt deer.
