I read this article myself, many years ago; I forgot the name of the author though. I do remember that the slug broke up. Part of the slug did penetrate the heart and kill the buff. However, it was a short range, broad side shot under perfect conditions. If I recall correctly, the takeaway was that while possible under ideal conditions, the performance wasn't convincing enough to make the practice sensible.



Don't know if it was the same article, but in the one that I read the buff was shot from the hunting vehicle. They then drove away and watched from a safe distance.
