I grew up in a state where buckshot and shotguns were taboo for deer hunting....state STILL DOESN'T ALLOW IT. I also now spend some time in a state hunting WITH buckshot because it's a shotgun only state.....having said that.....I'm still amazed at how it will flat knock the snot out of a running deer at close range (less than 50 yards)....and slugs just more of the same.
Doubt I would use a slug as primary weapon if I could use a rifle but send me into the pucker brush after wounded anything short of a buffalo or possibly a big brownie and I would love a nice shotgun loaded with buckshot AND slugs and would not feel undergunned at all.
