This shooting skill is off the charts, try doing this on yourself. It’s difficult tasl to harvest two bucks in one hunt, much less three.
The hunter and his uncle are driving the deer which forces them up on their feet and gives the hunters their shots. Though it seems like he shoots a lot, the hunter is a pretty good shot by downing three deer with limited ammo locked and loaded.
All three bucks are good sized deer. The gun is pretty darn accurate as you can tell by the first semi-long distance shot to finish off the first deer behind the tree.
When it’s all said and done the hunter harvests two 8-pointers and one 10-pointer in 35 seconds. See the shots here.

Can someone put this into English for a city slicker? :)
Dude smoked 3 male deer with a slug shotgun at rather impressive range in 35 seconds. That’s beast. I’ve almost had that happen with hogs, bit that was with an AK and they were several yards away
He shoots 3 deer in 35 seconds with a scoped shotgun using slugs.
A friend of mine went hunting with his father (in a state where they could only bag one deer each). His father had to relieve himself and disappeared deeper into the woods for a while. My friend saw two deer. Shot both in a few seconds. When his father returned he said, “I got one”, and then recalling the rules on what he could legally bag, “and so did you.”
Given your comparison, it sounds very incredibly hard to do.
This one is gonna hurt, even for me.
What’s a slug?
Vanity, Vanity, ALL is vanity... and the rest is just clickbait.
A slug is a very large and heavy chunk of lead that’s pretty much a bullet on roids. It weighs whole ounces. There’s different sizes and I’m not familiar with this guys slug
Wow. Thanks. Ounces. Geez...
You might be interested...
I don’t think I’ll try doing this on myself. It’s difficult tasl.
A 12 gauge slug is one ounce of lead, this 20 Gauge about 3/4 ounce. Starts to drop fast over 100 yards or so. At 200 yards, a substantial drop and anything after that it loses a lot of energy.
Isn’t there like a 2.5 oz. 10 gauge slug? Like a 3” or 3.5” or something? I know the guy used a 20 gauge, but I wasn’t sure of their weight. I don’t often mess with shotguns
I'm not sure if you are serous with this statement or not. 20 gage sabot-ed slug weighs around 3/4 of an ounce.
The bullet our of an AR usually comes in at 55-62 grains. Most 7.62 nato ammo bullets are in the 160 grains area.
So yes, shotgun slugs are like shooting a freight train engine in the world of ballistics.
This chart gives you and idea about muzzle velocity and energy. the charts shows rifled slugs. The sabot slug offers a bit more for longer shots.
About 1 3/4 ounce for 10 gauge.
I was serious.
Even I know that’s heavy :)
I looked up Grains and can see the difference.
I’m not 100% on velocities for different gauges, but I had 1 ouncers that were rocking 1600-1800 feet per second out of a 26 inch barrel. I busted the CRAP out of an engine block of an old, dead Chevy luv when I was a kid and the block was pretty much destroyed
