Around here if the shot distance is limited to under 40 yards a lot of people use 12 ga. shotguns with 00-000 buck and full chokes. The meat damage is a lot less with buckshot. You may not be used to this type of hunting, but we have stands that are set up similarly and that's all we use when we hunt them.
