One County? I didn't know that. Growing up, our entire State (NJ) was buckshot only and you couldn't shoot slugs until about 1980 or so. I don't hunt deer in Maryland and the only driven deer I shoot are Sikas (driven or run by dogs). Buckshot works well in that situation. Much rather shoot deer out West with a .270, but that's a different topic. Even for slugs, I would prefer open sights on running deer.... maybe a peep.
