I stopped using buckshot many years ago after tracking a buck hit 6 times at about 20 yards - my buddy was right beside me and we both unloaded on him as he ran out of the brush - for a mile and a half following a trail that looked like someone pouring blood out of a bucket. Every 25 yards there was a lot of pink foam where he coughed it up. His entire ribcage was shredded. If people were like deer, we would have gone up in caliber from the 30-06, not down.
