Here's the deal.  I have opportunity to hunt public land this fall during shotgun/archery season.  Catch is nothing larger than #2 shot.

Any suggestions on load and shotplacment?

With #2, I wouldn't shoot, at over ten yards, in the lungs. Actually, I just plain wouldn't hunt, if I was limited to #2 shot. Rather irresponsible, and will make for lots of wounded deer. Just say no.
