Not me
Though many a deer has been laid low with a load of buckshot, it's not for me. I just can't except a long gun that has such a limited range as a buckshot loaded shotgun, say 50 yds AT BEST.
A shotgun with a sighting system other than the std bead, will often group slugs well to 100 yds plus. You mention thick woods, but will handicap yourself in even slightly more open cover w/ buckshot.
Slugs are pretty common deer medicine in some states. Although a wacky argument, I can't imagine a slug hunter opting for buckshot, if given the choice.
Does that make sense?
