Fellows ,
I live in New Jersey for the last 46 years . I came from Pennsylvania , a big rifle state where we use to have close to a million licensed hunters and " buck Monday " school was closed !
When I moved here and found out buckshot only for deer it was an awakening !
Lucky for me I hooked up with guys that knew how to setup and use shotguns . After much trial and error I found that my model 12 was good to MAX of 40 yards with number 1 buck . We hunted from tree stands with an occasional silent drive by a couple of guys or even just one . Never lost a deer and at that time you could shoot 3" spikes . Now we can use slugs and my Savage 220 F clover leafs at 100 yards with Remington sabot slugs .
Buckshot is very effective if you know and any attention to your limits . AND find out what shoots in your particular shotgun .
