Justice, when I was growing up in the SC low country, rifles weren't allowed for hunting deer, but there were a bunch of deer taken with slugs and buckshot. Today's sabot slug rounds in rifled barrels make a shotgun almost ideal for low country deer. Brush hunting can be a real challenge, but a shotgun is the right choice.

I'm going to try to make a NC trip before long. A friend says he has some good hunting on a power line clearing with a lot of deer crossing in open space that should be interesting. From reasonable cover, the crossing point is 259 yards..... not exactly the .35's limit, but certainly a challenging shot. I need to find a range I can zero at 200 yards, so I don't have to say "should be" more than once to figure the aim point.
