I prefer slugs myself for additional range and knock down power when shooting in mainly open areas, but where I was hunting there was a lot more thick stuff than open area so I went with the buckshot, I was shooting what I consider close to the max comfort range I have with buckshot. I will tell you though that 20 yards and closer buckshot will knock a deer just as flat and as hard as a slug will.

Well Taz, way to go and Congrats. Pics?

I'm not a fan of buckshot Taz, but I'm glad you got your buck. We hunt a thick cedar swamp and slugs do a great job. Of course, who am I to tell you anything - you have probably killed more deer than I've even seen in my life. Way to go.

Congrats on a fine day afield. Thanks for sharing.

Yay, way 2 go, Now git some pics posted!

Conras Taz, good job!!!

Congratulations! Hope you get a pic up soon.

congrats on your buck Taz. Murphy help with the drag at least?
I've been waiting to say that this season. Still hoping to say that except there's only 5 days left here.

Good job Martin. As far as I know buckshot is illegal in Md but they use it a lot in Jersey with all the driving thats done here. Not a fan of it myself either but as you proved it will get the job done.

Congrats Taz. I got my first buck a couple of years ago (10 pointer) with buckshot. He was only about 15 yds away, and started jumping around when I hit him. I chambered a slug and put him down. I normally use a 30/30, but just happened to grab the shotgun after lunch. Georgia deer are small, so I was amazed that it took several shots.
