I've never used buckshot for whitetails, so I can't speak from personal experience.

However, I have a friend whose favorite deer gun was a single shot 10 gauge. He killed deer at ranges I wouldn't have tried to shoot with OO buck. Never lost a deer, most of them dropped in their tracks (tends to happen when a pellet or two hits the spine). If you keep your ranges short, it should work - it has been working for many years. JMHO
