I shot my first deer at nine with a 20 gauge slug in Louisiana side of Miss River “bar-pit” bottom land hardwood stand between the levee and old muddy

In deep woods especially if running beagles it’s quite common and effective

I shot my first deer at nine with a 20 gauge slug in Louisiana side of Miss River "bar-pit" bottom land hardwood stand between the levee and old muddy

In deep woods especially if running beagles it's quite common and effective.

I grew up hunting the batture along the Mississippi, too. Knew several guys who ran beagles and carried double-barrels, #6 shot in the full-choke tube and buckshot in the other, just in case.
