I grew up in a slug zone, and there were lots of slug lobbers. to make matters worse the seasons were 2 and 4 days long. meaning from sunup til dark guys were driving deer and shooting at everything that moved to fill tags. I think a lot of the slug "style" of hunting is rooted there.
if I were forced to go back to a slug zone I would use a modern muzzleloader (if it were legal). using 209 primers and a saboted .45 bullet. topped with a good scope and 200 yards would be very doable.
I will never participate in a "pheasant" style deer drive. you know the kind where 3-6 guys walk through a woodlot, cornfield or swamp and push every deer out towards 2 posters who blast at them as they run out.
I much prefer stalking a draw towards someone who can cover the bottom in case something tries to slip out unnoticed. my style of hunting has majorly changed since I left MN.
Beware of any old man in a profession where one usually dies young.
