not a problem for a 12 ga shooting slugs such as lightfields or brennekes. I have shot a few deer with each of these and none of them took another step.

The other option is to float a canoe through public land where you could go ashore if needed or if you shot one up on the bank (above the high water line).

I am done for this year and focusing on killing coons now, but I might just be mounting a gun rack on a big yellow and green canoe (Delaney knows the one) this off season.... =)
