Haven't even pointed a shotgun at a deer since I was a kid and listening to the sweet sound of a hound doing his thing. Will be a 870 Rem, just want to know if someone has found a good combo.

I know my turkey gun only likes certain loads and sizes for maximum kill ability. So I don't see why patterning buckshot would be any different

Thinking of seeing what a load of 3-inch 1s or 4s looked like through one. “Killing tomorrow’s trophies today.” On the distance I like to walk to my stands: “The first 100 yards is also the last 100 yards.”

Just curious to know if anyone has seen common combinations that work. Trying to save my shoulder and time. I grew up dog hunting and have joined a very large club that has couple thousand acres dedicated to dog drives and only allow buck shot. I know some have negative views on hunting with dogs but I really love watching and listening to the dogs work.
