I wouldn't call buckshot unethical, just the last resort if nothing else is available. In relation to body size #6 shot on a 1 lb duck is much larger than 00 buck on a 150 lb deer. Especially when 10-15 pellets are striking the duck vs 2-3 buckshot pellets on a deer.
There are 41 #4 buckshot in a 3 inch 12 gauge, 27 in a 2-3/4 12 gauge....What happens if only 2-3 pellets are striking the duck and 10-15 buckshot are striking the deer?

Used within its limitations buckshot can be effective. It also has a higher percentage of wounded animals than rifle or slug loads.
And, your data on more woundings for buckshot comes from where?
