I may have the opportunity to hunt in a shotgun or muzzleloader only area next year. I have taken an ark load of deer with buckshot, but have never used a slug gun or muzzleloader. I am not asking which is more lethal as I know either kill deer graveyard dead if you hit your mark. But, are there any advantages in recoil, accuracy, or performance with one or the other? For those that have used both, which do you prefer and why?

Thanks,
CH
