Let's also not forget slugs. I would use a slug on deer, long before I would use 00 buck. If it's a smooth bore double, you will want the slugs, not sabot slugs. Sabot types are used in rifle barreled shotguns.
Go to the funshow and find yourself a nice used 30-30 by Winchester or Marlin. They probably have taken more deer in Texas than any other caliber.
