FN or AR for culling and meat retrieval. 12ga for culling and leaving them on the hill.

I’ve been around when a crew has taken out 100 deer in a morning. All head and neck apart from 2 animals using buckshot.
Animals sent off to Germany so had to be in good nick.

Nice work. I thought a shottie might lack the precision for that but I guess at 30yd the buckshot would have minimal spread and would be confined to the head/neck. The chopper boys from the 60’s and 70’s were well served by their FNs etc. but a benelli m2 could well be a better option than a rifle?
