Hi all
My Son is going hunting for the first time next week (this was unexpected). Currently I dont have a hunting rifle that will fit him. I do have available a bolt action 410 shutgun with slugs. I already know the obvious challenges with such a small gauge but I also know under the right conditions it can/will bring down a deer. What I want to know is If any one has actually used and was sucsessfull in bringing down a deer with a 410 slug. and if so what was the conditions of your shot and the results of the slug. I know I could use a bigger gauge but I dont have one that will fit and I dont think I can get something, set it up, and sight in before I need it.
Any info is appreciated.
Thanks
WD
