Hopefully the gun quality has not changed.
We still have my Dad's Ithaca 16 guage that he bought when he was 17. A GREAT gun...had to be re-blued once and had the firing pin replaced once. Spent thousands of hours afield.
Where I grew up in WNY, you're only allowed to deer hunt with a shotgun & slugs...or a pistol if licenced.
My one brother is deadly with his Ithaca 37 20 guage w/20" slug barrel and open sights. Always a head shot so he doesn't "waste any meat".

Sadly, I haven't been out hunting since my Dad passed in '87...miss those days...

NY may have some of the finest shotgunners for that exact reason. My last two taken in the Finger Lakes, were both head shots from better than 50 yards...with my 870 mag pump, 18" smooth barrel, open sights, and 3" magnum rifled slugs. I'm surgical with that thing up to about 100 yards.
