pajarito 0 #26 July 30, 2004 QuoteQuotehunting deer with a shotgun, thats bordering on the illegal. Not in many states in America. In fact, many states specify that *only* a shotgun may be used for deer hunting, because they want to limit the range of the projectiles which miss their target. Rifle bullets travel "too far". I killed my first deer with a Remington model 1100, semi-auto, shotgun, with a 30 inch barrell and firing 3 inch magnum 000-buckshot. He made the fatal mistake of trying to cross the road I was watching.
