I forgot to mention that the bozos who shot that deer only managed to get three buckshot pellets on him. One in the neck, stomach and ham. Definitely were way too far away to ethically shoot if you're seeing that much spread.

To anybody who's thinking about using buckshot on deer or other large game, think about using slugs instead or get close enough to put all the pellets delivered into the vitals. Sloppy hunters wounding deer is just sad.....
