[QUOTE=MikePal;1071839]Yea we get it, good for you....

...but there are other hunters that hunt they way they do and you shouldn't be judging

I truly love hunting whitetails. I hate seeing them wounded or not recovered.If theres a much better tool available why not use it?? Slugs

As explained earlier, in some scenarios, Buckshot is the best tool for the job due to MNR restrictions, Hunter Safety etc etc.

Millions of hunters across North America use it successfully and although you find fault with it and you personally won't use it doesn't mean that others shouldn't use it.

Millions? Cmon now. Safety? Mnr restrictions? Spraying pellets at a running deer in a swamp? That sounds safe. I get i will never convince the old school guys and thats fine. If i convince one person thats a positive thing. Asked a few guys at the shop. 7 out of 8 wont use it. One even said its for guys who dont know how to shoot slugs.lol. Anyhow good luck to everyone next week.

Did you watch the Video?

Are you the worlds Sole expert? Buckshot under 30 yards is great in deep bush. Maybe bows should be banned many deer are found dead every year with a blade in them.

Buckshot used within its range limit is very effective.

You don't shooting moving geese or ducks do you? :)

As for buckshot through a full choke, it is lead shot, it is designed to shoot through a choke but you will not know how it patterns until you shoot it at paper to find out.

There are buckshot specific chokes but until you actually shoot what you have then you will have nothing to compare to, a full choke may not pattern as tight as a modified in your gun.

Guys, I have a rifled barrel for sabots, and two smooth barrels for waterfowl/turkey/whatever. I guess that could have been more clear but I did indicate the Mossberg combo shotgun,

Anyway, thanks for the responses.

Perfect, you said you were using a combo but we just had someone talk about taking a screw in choke out for shooting slugs so we needed some clarification.

Pattern it, try those Federal Flight Control loads and see what it does.

I did watch the video. The guy even says it was luck and didnt hit where it was aiming. He never moved the camera to follow the animal after the shot. So how long did it take to die?? If you believe him he says it ran 150yrds. Let me tell you that is a very long way in a thick swamp and would be a very difficult recovery in thick brush without a paas thru. I disagree on using deer as experiments. You cou have dropped that deer on the spot with a well placed slug. So now guys here its good to 55yrds. Many dont have range finders and cant judge distances. 55 will actually be 65 or 75. Thats just gonna equal more wounded unrecovered deer. Shoot slugs! Jmo
