I was wondering what every one thought about 410 slugs. Are they hard hitting enough for game? What is going on is my 12 year old son, my self and my father are going to do a "short range season" deer hunt. The area is the islands on the snake river here in idaho. They Islands are typically less than 1 acre in size. The laws for hunting this area is Short range weapons only. Meaning Archery, Muzzle Loader, pistol (in a round built for pistols so no 30-06 or 45-70 encores) or Shotgun.
My son is pretty skinny and struggle with the 20ga. He does however, do well with the 410 shooting paper. The deer in this area usually are only about 20-50 yards away. You think the 410 slugs are up to the task? My father will be using a 20 ga and ill probably be using a 12ga or may be a muzzleloader.
