What Shotgun to Use for Deer

Video Transcript

"One type of game that we could hunt with a shotgun is deer. When you're hunting deer with a shotgun there's two different barrels that you could use. Two different types of barrels that you could use to do that and each are specialized to the ammunition you'll be shooting. One, one method would be to use a riffled barrel with a riffled slug and that will cast a slug downrange quite a distance. Eighty to a hundred yards accurately enough to consistently to bring down a deer. The other method would be to use your duck hunting shotgun if you will with a full choke. Has a smooth bore barrel, no riffling in it and utilize what's called buckshot. Double OT buck single buck where theres a multitude of beads in the shotgun shell, instead of a slug and what we do is we scatter the BB's downrange much shorter distance but it brings the deer down swiftly and in tight quarters where it's swampy and brushy many times this is the method of choice."
