Opening day buck the small one for my combo tag at 7:28AM. 70 yard shot with Remington 870 slugger 20ga. using discontinued Remington 2 3/4†buckhammer slugs. 70 yard lazered shot buck ran 70 lazered yards. Took out both lungs and dropped the heart loose.
Some people would count the real short thing as a point.
T shirt and sweat shirt unzipped weather day time high temp was 63.

Nicely done Al. Ya didnt have to wait long for him did ya :congrats:
WTG! He looks tasty. Is 70 yards a long shot with shotgun slugs? Pure ignorance here in rifle land, not critique.
I got back from Pennsylvania last night, where we saw whitetails every day in the fallen Fall leaves near my daughter's suburban house. I'd love to hunt a whitetail in leaves like those in your pics.
Nicely done. Never used a slug to hunt with but the proof it works is in your pics. :yoyo:
Slugs when you fine the one your shot gun likes are good for at least 150 and some say 200 yards. For me I am pushing it to find a place to shot a deer 100 yards. Last years was 93 yards, I could see him because of all the dead ash trees have fallen making a clear area.
I was in my blind less than a hour.

Good shooting and congrats.
I have one of those Remington 870 20ga slug guns too. Pretty dang accurate at 100 yards and I personally wouldn't have a problem taking a 150 yard shot on a deer.
Congrats Al... looks like it'll be a good eater...
I've built up a 870 20ga slugger also... had the barrel pinned at the tang, a high dollar scope mount and a trigger job... it'll touch 3 shots at a hundred with the fancy Hornady sabots, still need to find a place to stretch it out and see what it'll do...
Nicely done sir. :highclap: Congratulations :congrats:

Good job ! Congrats !
Great pix! I have 4 buck hammer slugs left, not sure why they were discontinued,such a popular slug ?!
Probably not as much money in them as others. I am going to start reloading some soon.
slugs are us has some interesting chunks of lead.
