*Warning: LE ammo is NOT recommended for deer or bear hunting.

Sez who? I haven't heard that one before. The LE ammo I prefer to use (Federal's LE127 00) is a full velocity 9-pellet 1325 fps load, and given published information is apparently no different from Federal's PFC154 00 hunting load.

I can see not suggesting any reduced recoil buckshot load for hunting (I won't even use RR for HD given a choice), if that's the intention, but a blanket statement like the one quoted above is far too broad brush and without foundation as far as I can see.
