Does anyone have the link to the picture of Kerry going deer hunting with a shotgun that made the rounds a week or so ago.

I sure hope he has developed a taste for 100+ small pellets along with that tasty venison.

Are you kidding? The POODLE eat venison? That was for the hired HELP! He no doubt had REAL FOOD like Pate de Foie Gras and Dom Perignon brought in. You peasant!

A previous thread revealed many Freeper hunters that also like to use a shotgun for hunting deer. Shotguns can fire a solid slug shell which packs quite a wallop.

In many states you have to hunt whitetail deer with shotgun and rifled slug. Not enough open range to unleash a rifle. The slugs add a degree of difficulty. It's about like throwing a rock at the deer.

You don't know what you are talking about.
Many a deer has been taken by shotgun.

Upon impact the maximum expansion of the soft lead slug (essentially a .62 caliber bullet) produces devastatingly lethal results. The Lightfield Hybred EXP is "The Standard by Which Other Slugs are Judged."

Buck shot doesn't have 100+ small pellets. Wouldn't get the penetration needed to kill a buck. 00 Buck has about a dozen pellets, each one about .35" in diameter - even one can inflict a non-trivial wound!
Shotgun slugs have a single projectile that weighs over an ounce!
Both slugs and buckshot are used to hunt deer.

While I will agree with you on the lack of sincerity and knowledge that Kerry shows on guns and hunting in general. I must disagree with your statement on not being able to deer hunt with a shotgun. Here is Ky you are allowed to use shotguns when using slug ammunition. This is a large sabot which is very effective in close in shots 50 yards or shorter.

I'm curious about the deer hunting with a shotgun thing. When I was a kid I thought that was how people hunted deer. I mean isn't that why they call it "buckshot?" I remember being told, at my first meal of venison, to be a little careful so as not to bite down on a piece of shot, sort of like watching out for fishbones.

I believe that in Ohio (I know this was true when I was a kid - game regulations may have changed since then) it's illegal to hunt deer with a rifle. My father used his rifle (30/30 Marlin Lever) to hunt in Pennsylvania only. You have to (or had to) use a shotgun and "slugs" ("punkin' balls") as ammunition. That being said, I'm confident Kerry doesn't know this and he probably does think that you hunt deer with buckshot.
