This is what I have always done-use a ML rifle!

So in shotgun only zones are you allowed to shoot muzzleloaders?

I love using a shotgun for deer. I stopped using a rifle about 5 years ago. In my state you can use rifle in about half and shotgun in about half, I got a good slug gun to shoot in the shotgun zones and i was so impressed with it I use it everywhere now. With the barrels and slugs they make these days it is easy to rig up a 200 yard slug gun. And the 3-400 grain slugs lay the smack down on the critters.

A shotgun is a good choice for deer, as long as it is a choice. I don't like politicians choosing my weapons.

Usually, in most jurisdictions.

this is a topic that me and my friend argue about alot. The place i hunt was shotgun only and it just turned into shotgun/rifle. i prefer shotgun due the place that i hunt. where i hunt the max shot is only about 60yds.
I also like the idea that with a 12 or 20 gauge slug a well place shot is either going to bring it down where it stands or its going 20 ft and dying.
i also like the versatility of a shotgun rather than a rifle. with a shotgun you can do so much more from small game to skeet / trap.
