Dan is right, but there are a lot of people that have to use them because the land is too flat.
Illinois comes to mind. The shotgun is a great hunting tool from birds to deer with a load
of different types and bbl.'s.

There are pics of the M37 I use for deer in other threads. I started with a Sears brand bolt action 12g in 1965. Then after a period of work where I could get no time off (union seniority) I got a used 1100. Also a Mossy with a scope.

I let my Son borrow the Mossy and he fell in love with it.....so I gave it to him.:argh:

when my dad goes out to leases his boss owns in Ohio or new york they have to use shotguns. With the sabot technology they have today and good ammo/barrel can be very efficient.

Used to back in my teens when I lived in Indiana. Now I live where rifles rule.

I have buck shot but it is for home defense. I haven't hunted deer in a couple of decades.

You pay a buck a shot for buckshot?

I got a Mossberg 930 w/ slug/ breecher barrel I'll be using this up coming season. For deer hunting I use nothing but 12 guage 3" 1 oz. slugs.
