shooting running deer is something that happens all the time around here i would shoot
from sduprey on 07.29.09

they wouldn't allow buckshot if it didn't get the job done. with a 20ga loaded with buckshot 50-60 yards i have even heard of people shooting deer at 100 yards with a 20 gauge loaded with buckshot.the only thing is they cut the tops of the shells off and shaked out all the packing and filled it with hot wax i have seen them shoot the shells before they hold a good pattern out to distance of 80 yards that what they were target praticing at but about every 5 shots they swabbed the barrell.never seen what its does to a deer though.
i think hunting in the snow is the best time to hunt we hardly ever get snow the last time i was able to hunt the snow was about 6 years ago most of the time it never sticks but we get freak snow storm every few years but in the snow you can see deeper in the woods the deer are grouped up and most of the time on the move and if you do get a shot off tracking is easy the slightest drop of blood you can find it

what we take off our deer are the back hams,front shoulders,tender loins,breakfest loins and the neck we dont mess with the ribs because they really aren't worth it.so we dont even gut em we skin em out take the fronts then the tender loins make 2 slits by the back hams in the gut bag then the guts will drop down take the breakfest loins out cut the spine by the back hams then cut the hams in half this works if you hang the deer by its back legs not the neck
