Y'all been thinking I was crazy for saying I've killed deer at 177 yards (and others 150+) with a 20ga slug gun. This ain't ya pawpaw's punkin' ball slinger!

Wow that is wild.
That suddenly makes me want a 20gauge slug gun.

I've never shot at a deer this far, but I hit a gal milk jug at 200 yards twice in a row last year (from a Lead Sled).

It would be interesting to know what percentage of Alabama deer are taken at 200+yards

A ranged 200 not I reckon he was 200 yards

That would be interesting to know. About 5% for me

Ya range finder vs drunken bubba walking on hilly terrain.
A lot like a fishermans tale of that one fish.

When I lived in Prattville most of not all would be 150+ but up here in hills most are 50 yards or less.

I've killed way more at 200+ than at less than 200. Though I really love key sitting on big clear cuts, pastures and crop fields.

That's what I grew up hunting but you'll never see a deer around here in the wide open

I shot the milk jug in a cow pasture, rangefinder distance. Caldwell Lead Sled on tailgate of truck.

I killed these two with a mossberg 695 12 gauge.
Dropped this 8pt in his tracks at 217 yards. And I ranged it after the shot. I was sitting in a chair watching a logging road and using a forked stick for a prop.



Shot this 8pt at 147 yards in a clear cut. He ran about 30 yards. I was sitting in a summit climber about 30 feet up a sweetgum tree. Notice the skinned place on my nose, I got a little too close to the scope. I think I was leaving a better blood trail than the deer. That gun killed on one end and wounded on the other. I sold it and got a savage 220 and love it. It doesn't kick as much and I can shoot further with it than with the 12 gauge.

Nice to know the 220 can perform like that.


Jesus... I hope you know Him personally like I do.

What's really impressive is that those AccuTip slugs didn't destabilize at that distance!!

No joke y'all, for the last 10 years I will regularly hunt with my slug gun even when I could otherwise use a rifle. I took it to Oakmulgee, killed a deer on Choccolocco, and several others on private land. Up to roughly 175 I am absolutely confident, at least 50/50 out to around 200. Anything within 150 is dead!

285 yards to the far tree line.

Little better scale, not zoomed in

Shot this deer at 177

Awesome video. Looks like I might have to add another one to the collection.
