Absolutely! And, if a still hunter pauses every few steps, lingering to look and listen for a bit, a one-shooter should really be enough gun.
Far from it when you have multiple targets or you aren't top of the food chain.

OTOH using the AR on deer I can't recall ever taking more than one shot. Pigs same a lot of the time. Only multiples have been sounders and multiple coyotes.

And on those once they start moving I"m lucky to be better than 50% but even at that I've managed as many as 8 pigs once. Usually 3/5 is the max.
