Well, I don't know of anybody that hunts anything with shotgun slugs. Seems to me the only time that people do that is when that's the hunt restriction. That's not common here in the West. It seems that is only normal is the East where there is flatter land, lots more hunters, and why that is a common tool for whitetails. Every year Utah has a muley doe hunt near residental areas where only shotguns are allowed but other than that people opt for other tools when legal.
