JimT Posted November 17, 2005 Report Share Posted November 17, 2005 I am just curious as to how many people use it. The spot I have been hunting the last few days is very thick. I was sitting this evening and was thinking that this would be the perfect situation for it. I have never been a fan of it really though. So, who uses it and how do you like it?

Tominator Posted November 18, 2005 Report Share Posted November 18, 2005 Re: 00 Buck Shot Only time I used it was in the service in our riot 870's. Devastating round, I can attest to that. ( pellets, each .38 caliber if I'm not mistaken. Put the hurt on a silhouette, that's for sure. I should add that it's not legal in Ohio.

Guest TheNumber1Young1 Posted November 18, 2005 Report Share Posted November 18, 2005 Re: 00 Buck Shot I love 00 buck, but i only use it when i have clear shooting lanes....If your in a thick area use 4 bk, but if you have nice open shooting lanes the number 1 choice for me would have to be 00 buck.

beagleboy Posted November 18, 2005 Report Share Posted November 18, 2005 Re: 00 Buck Shot can't be used in NY either Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shaun_300 Posted November 18, 2005 Report Share Posted November 18, 2005 Re: 00 Buck Shot We can use them here, but I always hunt with my rifle. Some of my buddies use them and have killed deer, but have been more successful with slugs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

deerslayer2295 Posted November 18, 2005 Report Share Posted November 18, 2005 Re: 00 Buck Shot It is not legal in W.Va either, I would be curious to know how many states it is actually legal to use 00 buck in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest asilvia68 Posted November 18, 2005 Report Share Posted November 18, 2005 Re: 00 Buck Shot Took my first doe with 00 few years back. 2 doe on a full run about 30yds away from me. Yelled Hey and she stopped dead in her tracks. Hit her in the front shoulder and she flipped right over, got up ran about 20 yrds and expired. I hunt both Rhode Island and CT for shotgun. Difference is RI can use 00 and CT cannot. I have been reading that RI will make the change to slug shortly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Phaseolus (BeanMan) Posted November 18, 2005 Report Share Posted November 18, 2005 Re: 00 Buck Shot I've only shot buck shot at targets. When you hit one well at closer ranges does it tear up a lot of meat? just curious, Beanman Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wtnhunt Posted November 18, 2005 Report Share Posted November 18, 2005 Re: 00 Buck Shot Not legal here in Tennessee. Have to use slugs here with shotguns. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest fourtrax_300 Posted November 18, 2005 Report Share Posted November 18, 2005 Re: 00 Buck Shot [ QUOTE ] the thing with slugs is that you might as well use a rifle. you get 2 more shots. If you are going to use a shotgun (and it's legal) i'd use buckshot. [/ QUOTE ] some states, such as my home state of illinois is a shotgun only state. (bows,black poweder,and pistols allowed too) but why do you need 5 shots ? personaly 3 is more than enough for me. i have never shot twice at a deer, not to say that it woulnt happen.

[/ QUOTE ] I gotta agree with Fourtrax here...saying the rifle gives you 2 extra bullets is just psyching yourself up for taking a bad shot "cause you got more rounds to use to make up for the bad first shot". and sorry but IMO(forgive me if I am wrong) there is no other reason to say it that way except to excuse poor aim or shot choice. If your first shot does what it is supposed to then you don't need another...if your first shot goes wrong, and it does happen, then you need to shoot again if you have time. But that if you have time is a big deal, most people don't have time to shoot twice, and deffinitly not more than. Practice shooting, and practice patience...don't rely on clip/magazine capacity to make up for poor aim or poor shot selection! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
too_pointer Posted November 18, 2005 Report Share Posted November 18, 2005 Re: 00 Buck Shot I'm not a big fan of it, it is a real close load and people might tend to wound more deer with it by shooting longer distances than they should too_ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
