12 GA Buclshots vs 12 GA slug

[Nebula Lion]

Hi! My English is not very good, I hope that you can understand.

I was wondering, what is the advantege of using the Bucl sohts over the slug ones? I mean with the slug you can kill everything as the same of the bucl (exept for the fox), so why choose the bucls? I'm missing some hidden advantage?

Thank you.

Buck shot makes alot of blood spray but apart from that, i have never found a good reason to use buck over slug. Slug is so strong at medium or less range that it can destroy 3+ vitals in one body shot. A slug shot placed head on in the chest of most animals can go right through every vital in the animal.

P.S im talking from experience of playing 2 years ago. The new trophy integrity and harvest value probably gives you reasons not to use slugs on some animals. Like trying to shoot turkeys with a .44 pistol, not much left to harvest, lol.

Hello
-birdshot Shells (green), only for birds and rabbit.

-Buckshot Shells (red), deer minor or medium (white-tailed, black-tailed deer Mule and deer) coyotes and foxes.

-Slug Shells: all deer, bears and coyotes. Not be can shoot birds and foxes.


The advantage of the Slug shell, the power. The advantage of Buckshot Shells, the dispersal of ammunition and is more difficult to fail at a certain distance (40 meters more or less) begins to lose precision


Hola
.-birdshot Shells (verdes, ), solo para pajaros y el conejo.

.- Buckshot Shells (rojos), ciervos menores o medianos (cola blanca, cola negra, ciervo mula y corzo) coyotes y zorros.

.-Slug Shells: Todos los cervidos, osos y coyotes. No se le puede disparar a pajaros y al zorro.


La ventaja del Slug shell, la potencia. La ventaja del Buckshot Shells, la dispersion de la municion y es mas dificil fallar aunque a cierta distancia ( 40 metros mas o menos) empieza a perder precision

You can kill up to three animals with only one load of buckshot, if they're close enough to each other.

Thank you all, I also made some tests at the shooting range (I like to be scientific and stest stuff and etc....) Soooohhhh I discovered that the slug one is "just a bullet" and the bucl is "an army of bullet shoot at the same time" I have no idea how what is the correct terminology. Anyway this make the bucl much less accurate, but much better at close range I think. Same thing for the birdshot, but the gap between the bullets is much larger.
