Back in the early 70's I recall some hunters in Virginia using #4 buck for deer.

My dad lived in Alabama in the late 50's. The cover was so dense, the deer so abundant, it was illegal to hunt at night, (coon, rabbit, fox, etc.) With anything larger than #6 birdshot.
He shot a deer while sitting on a stump and the shotgun across his lap. The deer was 5 feet away, he cocked the hammer and touched the trigger. He used #4 Birdshot.
