I think the real key here is going to a 20 ga. I've seen a couple of deer killed with the buckshot round (don't recall if it was the # 3 or # 2 loads)and it worked fine.

I think the 870 youth gun is an excellent buy. I have two of the Winchester versions and am very pleased with them.

I think with the 20 you get 70 % of the effectiveness with 50 % of the recoil.
