Slugs vs Buckshot for Deer
I’ve got a chance at hunting an area with a ton of deer this year but it’s shotgun/muzzleloader/bow only. I’ve done some bow hunting, mostly rifle, but I have yet to use a shotgun to hunt big game. I have more than a few smoothbore shotguns so I wanted to see what kind of energy…

Game Cam Oct 2014 and a Bit of Varmint Hunting
Thought I’d share what’s coming up on the game cam. There was a lot more variety in animals than I was expecting for 2 weeks of footage. After seeing all the pictures of coyotes, I took off with my Stevens 200 in 223 to clear some of them out. I didn’t see any coyotes but…
